November 16th: Pasadena (Rose Bowl) half marathon – 13.1 miles

This year it wasn't so nippy.

When I got to the 10k mark I got there at 54 minutes, that is by far my best time ever. I did this run in 205, which is not too bad. I thought I would do better but I did 2 minutes faster than last year and finished second in my age group.

The thing with marathons is they take a such toll on us. Our coach says, “Do not run marathons, even as training.” The longest runs he sends us on is 20 miles, it is just too tough on the body. We run half marathons as part of our training.
