New Bedford Half Marathon

Yesterday I ran the New Bedford Half Marathon with several other runners from the DFMC. We had great weather for racing: about 40 degrees and overcast with no precipitation. The course is fast. Big hills at miles 3 and 12, but otherwise pretty flat. My goal was sub 1:18:00 (5:57 per mile). I ran 1:18:07 (5:58 per mile). Eight seconds over 13.1 miles is nothing, and I have no good reason for missing my goal. Upward and onward though, April 21 is fast approaching!

ps I recommend the New Bedford Whaling Museum and Moby Dick.
