Started at what I thought would have been a manageable pace - wrong.  The legs are fatigued, and just not wanting to move like they were a month ago.  Solid first 4 miles, and at this point I felt the usual pains - left hamstring, knee, blah, blah... Nobody wants to hear somebody whine about injuries.  I kept it at around a little slower than MP the rest of the way, and finished.

Decent training run I guess :)  Oh well, at least I didn't pay for the race :)  Sorry, Indy, but, one hr long drive is enough for a half I haven't trained for... Yeah, no race day packet pickup for a 9am race.

Could be worse, I think I hit 7:30 pace at the end of my last HM-fail.

When you get rid of the fatigue, you'll have no problem hoding that pace - definitely in your wheelhouse.

It takes a while to fully bounce back from multiple marathons. I agree w/ Joe, that's going to be marathon pace in the spring.
