Well, today started my 2010 season. I raced a half marathon in Williamsburg, VA. I wanted to do a different race that I haven't done yet and I have heard good things about this race. The course was definitely challenging, but I enjoyed it. I needed to see exactly where my fitness was and the work I've been doing on the run front is paying off. From what I've heard...this course equates to a good 2-3 minutes faster for almost everyone who goes and does the Shamrock 1/2 marathon in VA beach here in a few weeks. Here is my garmin file: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/25788843 . It was a bit long (about .16), so 5:57 pace I think is about a 1:18 flat. Things are looking good for the season and particularly Eagleman, which will be my first key race of the year.
The first picture is of Joel and I. He had a great race too and set a nice PR for him. The finish chute was located inside William and Mary Hall. Rachel got a short video clip of me finishing.
I also wanted to share the song I had running through my head during the race. We heard it at church this morning and it really inspired me. It's amazing how much strength your faith can give you when you draw on it.
Lastly, big ups to Balance Massage and Range of Motions. These two companies have been vital in my early season prep and I'm very thankful for what they've done for me. One of the best things about this sport is the people you meet along the way.
Thanks for reading.

That is great news about your race. I will share it with the staff at Balance immediately. I think Joel is coming in tomorrow so word will spread about the race. I'm such a fan of the sport of running and am very proud that you consider our massage therapists an asset to your training. I know they will be proud of themselves when they hear how well things are going at the start of your season. Peace out!
