8 mile run
Dad and I ran 8 miles this morning. The weather was nice and cool when we started, but got pretty hot towards the end of the run. We stayed together through the first 6 miles, then dad got a killer groin cramp, and told me to run on ahead. I felt really good, and enjoyed the run. My legs felt good the whole time. I am still sick, so I felt a little "raspy" breathing, but overall I was strong. I ran pretty fast the last half mile, since I had some energy left.
Splits: mile 1 (9:54), mile 2 (9:48), mile 3 (9:53), mile 4 (9:58), mile 5 (9:48), mile 6 (9:41), mile 7 (9:44), mile 8 (9:31). Total time 78:25. Dad was about a minute behind me.

Wow that's pretty good. Just think, last year you guys were struggling to run a 5k race at the same pace you ran the last 3 miles of an easy 8-miler today.
At this point it's no longer a question whether you beat your time from last year in the half-marathon or even if you run under 10 minute miles. Realistically, I think you can start thinking about breaking the 2 hour barrier, which is 9:09 ppm.
