Today i did the Dogtown half marathon. As a team we jogged a little before the race to warm up. Coach wanted us to progress during the race so we eased into it going around a 6:30ish to start. I was able to stick with the group until about mile 8/9 and then they dropped me. I was not on cloud nine at mile nine. Overall I finished the race in a 123:25, which according to my watch (which could be off) was an average of 6:22 per mile. Last year I ran it and I got a 137:18 so I am happy with the improvement. I jogged around a little after the race to cool down and hurried off to work.

I also did 3x 200 minutes (approximately) treading water with no arms.
