Since I’m in the middle of a training cycle for the Surfer’s Path Marathon next month, I took it easy in the SC Half. I decided to ignore my watch and just ran “by feel.” I didn’t get a PR — my pace was 4 seconds slower per mile than my previous PR (at last year’s SC Half), but I thoroughly enjoyed the run. Very glad it didn’t rain the whole time! I wasn’t all that eager to repeat the Go Green Half-Marathon experience of last month (where I ended up freezing and soaking wet by the end)! The event remains a favorite!
