Today I took the half marathon test ... about 2.5 months out from Akron. Please was to run sub 1:30 and all came close but not quite. 1:32 and some change, actually a lot of change.

The race, Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon. Course started up on a big hill and after that was rolling and windy so overall I was happy.

Pace went out good, through mile 3 was perfect ... up to mile was still on pace. Then it started to slip. You can see it all below. Would love to get rid of that 7:40 mile. Ending up 55th overall and 7th age group.

Considering I spent 10 hours the day before traveling and fell over schedule a couple of days before hand. Time to do a week of fun running in the Napa area and get back to the grind stone.
