Down hill both ways

I did my third half-marathon (maybe 4th, not too sure) a couple of weekends ago. It was the Silver Comet Half that happens every Halloween weekend. I did it back in 2004, three years after the race was born. Back then I posted a 2:04 time. This year I did it 1 hour and 44 min. I attribute this to the flatness of the course. I'm doing the Tennessee Ragnar this weekend with fellow PRS contributor Zach, so I've been training. I usually run at work because I work 30 miles from my house and it is just easier to run during lunch for me. Well in Norcross, Ga (most of Ga that is) there are a lot of hills. So that is what I've become familiar with. While I was running the Half on the Silver Comet I honestly felt like I was going down hill the whole time. It was great. There is no way I could have pulled off a sub-8 min pace on a hillier course. Think I'll try to do this one every year.

Check back later for details on my first Ragnar.

Also thinking about doing Florida Keys Ragnar....
