OC Half Marathon

Today I ran the OC Half Marathon, setting a personal record of 2:29:17. I wanted to come in under 2:30, and I'm happy that I made it happen today.
A year ago, I ran the OC full marathon, and the 2nd half was miserable. This time, I ran the good part and stuck to the half. The weather was perfect; not cold and not at all hot. The fan support was excellent (best sign: Run like Ryan Gosling is at the finish line with a puppy), and the views were awesome. The race felt really good, and almost even easy. I took it easy for the first 10 miles, and then kicked it up a notch and pushed myself for the last 5K.
