Half Marathon Race in Wilkes

Ran a first time event in Wilkes this morning. They had a larger number of people show up than expected. The start was delayed for about 40 minutes but everything went fine after the start. We ran the length of the green way and back for the half marathon. I ran the first 7 miles with an army officer that I just started talking with as we ran. He definitely helped my pace. He eventually finished 5 minutes ahead of me. He got faster and I got slower.
I ran 1:44 which was a minute under my target time. Overall great event and the money raised went to a Christian Organization that helps feed the hungry.
We dropped off Elizabeth before the race @ Mom and Pa's, she is spending the night tonight. They are going to see the Wizard of Oz tomorrow.

Watched App State beat Elon earlier today and now watching Carolina vs Miami.

Tomorrow I have 8 miles on the schedule.
