I had a really good run - I went out a bit faster than I usually do and was feeling pretty good so I tried to maintain that pace and did very well - I have never tried to run that a pace that fast for anything close to this distance but I did very well - I PRed by 12 minutes which is so cool - after the race I did not get light headed so taking a half of a blood pressure pill on the day before a race and none the morning of the race maybe an answer tot that problem - I talked one doctor about trying this but will talk to the other one also - it was really tired after the event and sat at the finish line for about an hour and a half when I did a lot better and was able to then visit with my friends and stay until the marathon finished came it - I was very glad to be able to do this and to see my friend Emily complete her first marathon. I am tired but feeling pretty good - I have also really enjoyed sharing with all my friends here about my and their runs - truly a excellent event and a great trip!

OBX 8K
Real good race - Jon and Meredith also ran - Jon is running the full and Meredith and I are running the Half Sunday - first back to back for me and Meredith also will be Meredith's first Half Marathon. I was feeling very good and was running very well so in spite of doing the Half Sunday I push the pace as much as I was comfortable with - the weather was a bit cool not really nice - the course was interesting it was part to the trail section form the full - I ran real well and got my best pace yet and a PR for an 8K -

City of Oaks / Rex Half Marathon
Great run and my best race yet. I felt prepared, I had no problems and the day was beautiful - cool but very nice. I got to the start with enough time to find my friends, take a few pictures and talk a bit but not so long I got cold. I felt like I was running well and I really enjoyed the run. I have never had so many folks talking to me and encouraging me it was a really great experience. I PR by 6 minutes - last year I ran this half and it was my first half ever. I had some problems but did finish with a 4:22 time this year I finished one hour faster with a 3:22 time and my fastest ever average pace. I am very pleased with this run. I did really push the pace during the whole race - I was feeling good and really wanted another PR. I am real tired now and hope I will recover enough to have a good race at OBX. I decided to just go for it at City of Oaks - everything was right and who know what the weather will be like next weekend. I am hopping for more of what we had today but will take what we get. Once again I had problems when I stopped running at the end with being light headed and i had to sit down for a while and when I did stand up it was pretty bad. I has taken a longtime for me to feel better and begin to recover. I am wondering and plan to ask my doctor if I may need to take less or no blood pressure meds on the day of my long run. The race it self was very very well done. There was not a single thing that I think should have been done differently. There was not anything wrong that I know of at the race. Well done gang.
