Another Personal Best in a Half Marathon

Me and Irene celebrating 2:56

Rock and Roll Half Marathons are fun, and Pasadena did not disappoint again this year. Irene and I improved our previous PB by 3 minutes to get a 2:56. Of course once I told Irene that we were at 2:41 just before the 12 mile marker, I had to jog the rest of the race to keep up with her wicked pace. Who else can walk a mile in 12:13 minutes? Wow. It was a great race. Weather was perfect - cooler than the Surf City Half. And we both felt really good at the end of the Half.

Other than the uphill on mile 9, we had a pretty fast race overall. That last mile was really fast.
