Just wanted to drop a note that my race went very well... ran the hilly half-marathon in a time of 2:11:06!! This is a new PR by over 12 minutes

Among other things, I learned that maybe Galloway knows what he is talking about. For my previous halves, I've always been of the mindset that I'm more than capable of running all the way through, which I am, but... this time around I made a point of taking a walk break at all but the last water stop (every 2 miles), even past the time it took me to drink. A good 30-60 seconds walking. And ya know what? I ran miles 10-13 as strong as miles 1-4, if not stronger. Feeling good about my next marathon 5 weeks from now...

timmac Congrats on your great race and PR! I "walk for water", too and have no plans to change for my very first marathon. Good luck with your training for your next race.
