Mark Sundstrom

I ran 2:13:03, a personal best in this, my 20th Half Marathon. This is the 4th year in a row doing this event. The weather this year was just like it was in 2008 and 2009 - sunny and warm.

I used the Jeff Galloway run/walk method, mostly sticking to running for 3 minutes and walking for 1 minute, adjusting sometimes for the hills and water stations. I often extended running down the hills. My slowest mile was 11:10 and my fastest was 9:01, which was the last mile.

Here is the GPS track, at Every Trail, as usual. My tracks from 2009 and 2010 are also at Every Trail.

I took my camera along to give some idea of how beautiful this route is.
