Now I’m pondering how feasible it might be to run sub 3:20 for the BQ time. I came really close to that pace at my last half, but I’d also done another race the prior weekend.

Old man. I am still in the 3:05 BQ time which likely means I would need to run sub-3 to get in.

I’m in a new AG next year. 3:20 seems doable, but 3:15 might be a stretch to guarantee it. I suppose I could do CIM next December too for an even faster course. ?

One of my buddies ran 2:30 at CIM this past week, he's nuts!

Was raining today so I tried out the treadmill for the first time since high school. Held 6:45 for 30 min ~4.4 miles and felt pretty good though it started getting hot near the end. Definitely miss having a breeze to cool me down. I think I'd like to get up to a 1:30 half in the next few years but I need to build a lot more running stamina

My dad ran a 2:55 when he was about my age. I outweigh him by about 40 pounds, so that ain’t gonna happen.
