2007 VA Beach Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon - Sept 2

John and I drove out to Virginia Beach for Labor Day weekend this year for a little vacation and so I could run in my third consecutive VA Beach Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon.

13.1 miles
finished in 1 hr 33 min 45 sec (7:09 mile pace)

441st place out 17,018 finishers
66th place out 1,049 finishers in the male 25-29 age group

but well off the blazing pace set by the Kenyans who crossed the line at 1:02:20

I felt good running this year with major improvement over last year's time which was major improvement over the year before that. I maintained sub 7:17 mile pace which I need to run for 26.2 miles at an upcoming marathon in order to qualify for the

Boston Marathon (3 hr 10 min is the qualifying cut-off for the males in my age group).

I am getting faster. Gotta keep running, gotta keep running.
