Bad Run that Turned into a Good Run

We did 12+ miles today, total time of 3:01:19 and the overall pace for me was 14:17. It started out very slow, the wind was blowing which for OKC and this summer that was unusual. I struggled with the first 5 or 6 miles, with right leg shin pains and with my breathing it seemed for some reason.

However, it did get better and I finished pretty strong.....at least for me. The splits looked good, definitely negative, way negative in fact...first half 1:33:45...second half 1:18:45. My leg quit hurting...well almost quit and I felt good...I finished about 3 minutes ahead of my running partners...I'm sure I'll pay for that next weekend.

We have a half marathon coming up on October 13 and I think we are ready. We are going to be doing 16 or 17 miles next weekend, so the half marathon will actually be an easy run for us, but a race none the less.
