Another Hobble Creek Half in the books. I had an OK race. I warmed up 2 miles with Scott. 

We took it out conservatively (for the grade). First 6 miles averaging around 5:10. The pace felt good on the legs but my cardio and breathing were way out of wack, felt like a 5k! Not sure what was going on. 

I let Scott go after 7 and battled being out of breath the rest of the race. Weird! I didn't have anyone too close on my tail so once Scott got out of range I lost focus a little and slowed down. Last half average was probably closer to 5:30. 

Hobble Creek Half is one of those "must do" races! Runner's Corner puts on a great event.

Good race and good to see you. Things are going to shape up nicely for you for SGM for sure.

Are you or Scott missing a medium race shirt and bib? I accidentally jacked someone's while we were sitting on the lawn. Let me know if its yours (or his) and I can bring it to the group run on Saturday. Also, please let me know the time you guys decide for Saturday morning.

easy report. Weird that you would have breathing problems. That's pretty much impossible with Dr. Smooth :) Nice 1/2 though. Great deposit. Love the tenacity you have shown the past few years. MIH

Thanks, Spencer. How is married life treating you? Achilles still giving you trouble?

Justin, Scott said you killed it this morning. Nice work!
