Williams Ranch 30K

I had signed up for the 30K while I was still in the Houston Full Marathon mode. My plan was to see how I did, time wise, and if I met the pace requirements, to stick with the full. The deadline for switching was last Wednesday. I switched to the half and went ahead and did the 30K. I left early with the walkers, and walked at a 15.25 minute pace for the first 8 miles in 2:02 hours. Then I started running intervals for the balance of the 10.5 miles with an average 13.80 mile. My average pace for the whole race was 14.24. I don't know if I could have run the whole thing at 13.80, but I would have been well under the time limit of 4:15 if I had. I would have still been over the 13:45 for the Houston Marathon. The bottom line is that I finished the race and beat my prior 4:51:34 time for this race.
