Thanks for all the great advice and encouragement, everyone!!
I ran a 2:19:2x half marathon this morning, good enough for a plaque for 3rd female 40-49 in a very, very small field.
That's a 7-minute PR for me!!
My half marathon time came down a total of 17 minutes in 2007 (so far) in my series of five half marathons in seven weeks. That's five out of five DONE under 2:30, each and every one!!!
Yes, I did take along the Garmin, and it actually helped my pacing enormously because the entire race after Mile 4 there was no one in sight in front of me.
Bath now, long report with photos some time later.

Congratulations, Nancy!
Wow, a PR and hardware, too! Congrats!
That is awesome. I guess that whole 'running more makes you faster' thing is true.
You know what this means? I means I will have to work hard so that I can beat your PR - gulp!
Congratulations, that's great. I look forward to reading your report. You're really blazing through this turning 50 challenge, huh? Way to go.
Way to go, Nancy! I'll check back later for the race report.
Great job. It doesn't matter if the field was small. You made the podium!!!! Yah!
That is the awesome-ist! What a PR!! And placing, too. That is so cool. Way to go.
Awesome, congrats on your PR and placing too.
Congrats, Nancy.
A PR is a PR.
Great work, Nancy!
Yay Nancy! congrats!
very cool - that's a big schedule too! Looking forward to come charts...Garmin rules!
Doesn't matter how small the field was...you showed up and you performed super-well, and you deserve the BLING! Congratulations!
Thanks, everyone! Yeah, I'd be happy with that time any day, but a plaque was fun to get on a day that I worked hard, too!!
WOOT! Nancy, you're gonna need more space on your wall!
