Finally a half marathon where I didn't feel terrible after 3 miles.  Went out with Brandon Hebbert and Jamal for the first 2 miles then eased up a bit to save something for the later miles.  After a couple more miles Brandon was out of sight and Jamal was about a minute ahead.  Jamal kept that distance on me until about mile 11 when I started to close the gap slightly.  Going into the last mile I thought there was a chance I could catch him but the last mile was flat to slightly uphill and I didn't have it in me.  Finished about 10 seconds behind Jamal and 3 minutes behind Brandon.  I was jealous of Brandon because he won a really cool ladder; but of course he earned it.  I will have to make this race an annual ritual until I win the ladder.

Before the race Rob and Steve made me run a mile which was actually nice because then I only had to run 6 after the race to get to 20.  Thanks guys!  I think I am about ready for Des News.
