My yes, I do believe that is a PR.

With hills.

Granted, it's only 11 seconds faster than my last half, but with the hills, I'll take it.

And I'll be having my race fries now.

More later.

    WooHoo!!! Congratulations Finny! You're AMAZING! Was it fun???

    On another topic -- can you tell me how to take notes on a blackberry? I googled it, but I get links related to MS Notes, so I can't figure it out.

    FINNY IS A STUD.

    And no puking reported, either. Rock on, Finn.

    2:24 - Yay for you! Usually I lurk. Well, always I lurk. I'm running my first half in August (RNR Chicago). I would love to finish at or under 2:30 but all those race calculators tell me that my 12 min mile isn't going to make it. How do you feel about pace groups?

    Amy, Decca, Lera, Elizabeth, C - Thank you for all the support!!!

    Thimbleanna - Thank you AND - I'll email you separately. Since, you know, not everyone will find my BB advice so exciting.

    Kris - Thank gawd no puking.

    JRB - Congrats! Yeah, so I don't usually follow pace groups, just because I'm more of a loner (like to be in my own head, listening to tunes and thinking about, you know, what I'm going to wear to work on Monday or whatever bullshit), but I do use those pace bracelets you can custom build on marathonguide.com. Basically you put in your mileage (13.1) and your projected finish (2:30) and it will build you a bracelet that you can print and tape around your wrist that will show you where you should be timewise at each mile marker. Example: "Mile 1 - 10:18" or whatever. They're a little old school now, since people use those tatoo things and watches, but I still use them and like them so, whatever. Hope that helps! Have fun!

    Nice work! And, you are SO lucky you were out of town this weekend. It was like a million degrees in the Bay Area. Ugh.

[2013 update: You can't comment as an anonymous person anymore. Too many douchebags were leaving bullshit SPAM comments and my inbox was getting flooded, but if you're here to comment in a real way like a real person, go to it.]

Look at you commenting, that's fun.

So, here's the thing with commenting, unless you have an email address associated with your own profile, your comment will still post, but I won't have an email address with which to reply to you personally.

Sucks, right?

Anyway, to remedy this, I usually come back to my posts and post replies in the comment field with you.

But, if you ever want to email me directly to talk about pumpkins or shoes or what it's like to spend a good part of your day Swiffering - shoot me an email to finnyknitsATgmailDOTcom.

Cheers.
