1/2 marathon pb:) wooohooo!

I said yesterday I wanted to break 82min & I managed to do 81:21 by my watch:D I have to wait until the results are on their website to find out the actual time.

I felt great until 12k then it started to get hard
Splits were
1k 3:36
2k 3:41
3k 3:45
4k 3:44
5k 3:47 18:34
6k 3:45
7k 3:45
8k 3:56
9k 3:49
10k 3:44 37:35
11k 3:47
12k 3:57
13k 4:06
14k 3:45
15k 3:56 57:08
16k 3:58
17k 4:02
18k 3:59
19k 4:12
20k 3:55 77:16
21.1k 4:05 81:21

I did 3k as a warmup & 2.5k as a warm down
So I ran 26.5 lk in total

I did a cycle class ater in the day & felt great in that, but I did take it easy:)

Bfast was 3 slices of toast with jam, a coffee & bottle of powerade
after run had this turkish roll & apricot scroll...now that was yum!
after cycle had 2 date scones
dinner was a hambuger & chips from the takeaway
now I'm on my 2nd beer & I might even have a few more:)

Knee was great but I could feel it very slightly at 12k.
My next goal is to crack 80min for the half.
This would have to be my favourite race distance.
The weather today was just sensational. A bit warm but it was unreal:)

I'm starting to feel really fit & am loving my running more than ever.

Next 1/2 I'll do is Sydney. Thats a tough course with some hard hills. I know I won't beat the time I did today as today was really flat, but you just never know........

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend
