Lol! I will make sure to watch that video later. Ha! 

GREAT JOB!!!! 

Thank you! 

That is freakin' amazing! Your pace is so impressive. Kudos! And then you went ice skating the day after! Wow! 

@Densible: Since this was my 2nd one I ran a little smarter, which helped my time and my sanity. Plus I'm in the middle of a full marathon training plan, so I've already done runs up to 16 miles. When I did my first half marathon the longest run I had completed was 10 miles. 

9:24 min/mi is just awesome. I am totally impressed. And increasing your pace 90 seconds a mile is even more amazing. You are my hero! And now you'll have to share your training tips. :) 

/0's training philosophies for running: 1) Start slow, then ease up. 2) Rest... a lot. 3) Peanut M&Ms make great on-the-run carb boosters 4) Never run on consecutive days (see philosophy #2) 5) Learn to love running 6) Stop looking at your watch 7)Don't pay attention to anyone else's running philosophies... do what's right for you. :) 

LOL~ HE SPEAKS!!!!!! Very rednecky, I like. NICE time, and you were telling Lala 7 min would be difficult. I wonder if a certain girl made ya run a little faster? She is cute (from this angle lol) looks like you have fun together, that matters the most! Again, Amazing time on the race. You labeled it your second, like there is more to come!  

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww bless! loved the video lol 

@Cindy: My next races are an 8 mile "fun run" on Thanksgiving morning and a full marathon (26.2 miles) on December 13th. After the full marathon I'll take a break from running to recover. 

Yeah I knew there was more, just that you stated it so soon... so How are you feeling today btw? 

HOLY CRAP!!! TWENTY MINUTES?!! Sorry, I'm yelling, but daaaaaaamn! I KNEW you were going to improve by a lot. You thought the seven minutes I predicted was too much, but you blew my prediction out of the water! Congrats, man. Well done. Well done.  

@Cindy: I'm actually feeling pretty good. I was sore later that day and a little stiff the next morning, but it wasn't so bad that it kept me from doing anything. I went ice skating for 3+ hours the next day and it didn't hurt at all. 

@FPLala: Thank you! I was kind of surprised when I kept hearing the times being called out at the mile markers. I didn't feel like I was running too fast so I just kept the pace up as long as I could. I did slow down a bit near the end, but not so much that it wrecked my time. There were a LOT of brutal hills in miles 3-6 that killed our legs. I think I might have been able to get under 2:00:00 if it had been a flat course. 

I'm sure you can... especially when your lovely girlfriend is waiting for you at the finish line. ; ) Glad you don't feel like dying anymore. P.S. Love the last picture on your "randomness". 

wow. Wow, wow, wow! I am so amazed and proud and inspired! You are amazing! 

Thank you, amryk! 

I know I'm all late and ish but congrats on improving your half marathon time so well. And wow your gf is a cutie pie with her stud in her tounge (Really Nice). And of course nice Halloween pics too.  

I'm as late as splendid, but great job on improving your time, most definitely an inspiration to me and your girlfriend is cute! You guys do look like you have a lot of fun together. 

WOW...what an inspiration Divided By Zero! Just thinking about your marathon...My body is crying for your body. That is a fantastic time too...and to be beaten by Sonic...it only stands to reason. You look absolutely fabulous in the Tuxedo with your girlfriend even if your body was crying inside from the race...LOL
