Here's the short side... Awesome race this morning. Me and three of my bro's headed down for the sun of Phoenix to race in the Rock 'n' Roll Arizona.

They said there were just over 25,000 runners registered for the half marathon! That is insane. Looking at the web site 21,985 finished the race! Insanity abounds. As for the race details... I'm not actually sure what my exact finish time is. They had 26 corrals set up to handle the people. I made it into the first corral, but was lined up about 30 yards behind the start line. A PR by over 2 minutes!

Course: Running through suburia! Slight uphill until just past mile 10! so, no real break until then.

Mile 1: 7:11 - feeling good trying to hold back from running crazy! As I mention started in corral 1 and with a lot o' people.

Mile 2: 7:05 - feeling great live bands, cheerleaders...

Mile 3: 7:10 - cyto max!

Mile 4:  7:11 - running, still feeling good and holding back.

Mile 5: 7:16 - I tried taking a sip or two of cyto max and water at every aid station.

Mile 6: 7:11 - Belly Dancers!

Mile 7: 7:17 - High fiving a few groups of cheerleaders.

Mile 8: 7:14 - Just finished the crazy straight strech. Mile 4 to almost mile 8.

Mile 9: 7:20 - Lost focus a bit here.

Mile 10: 7:35 - Slowest mile of the race. The races only substantial hill. Took a GU and that rechared me a bit. Where'd all the cheerleaders go?

Mile 11: 7:21 - The 1:35 pacer guy catches me here. So, that was some added motivation to kick in the last couple miles.

Mile 12: 7:09 - Dusted 1:35 pacer guy. So, I was thinking I'm going to get my PR if I can hold on.

Mile 13: 6:59 - Sweet Mile 13 fastest mile of the day broke 7 minutes and feeling great.

Mile .10 - 5:51 pace.. It was a great race and the aftermath was fun and distracting. Almost 22,000 runners. Pure Chaos - That's why I do it.

Nice and easy recovery run. 3.1 miles on the Tm.. Legs didn't feel to bad. Probably could've pushed it a little more yesterday, but I felt like it was a great way to start the year off.

Early morning Tm run. Took yesterday off I think the legs appreciated it. Probably ended up avg around 8:15 for the run. Incline 1.0. Legs felt great though so, I'll take that as a good sign.

Decided to sleep in a bit and hit golds on the way home from work! Nice Tm run for the first 5 miles nothing to exciting, hit the track for the last mile. Legs felt good after a few miles. Steam room after is always nice. Incline 1.0.

Hit Golds this afternoon! Man what a bummer of a run. I've been fighting off a cold for the last few days and it showed today. Couldn't really ever get my breathing settled down. Wanted to try for maybe 6-7 only made it to 5 and called it a day. Avg pace probably around 7:47.  Good recovery week - though!
