You just did Boston a couple weeks ago and there is no way your legs are even remotely recovered and you still ran a great time. Don't worry about the age group stuff as that is totally out of your hands. I have had kind of lousy times in races and won trophys and run really well and not even come close.<br /><br />Best of luck with your recovery Lam!Bill Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17303668807091595615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956756870207703825.post-18955898214258059802009-05-07T14:39:00.000-04:002009-05-07T14:39:00.000-04:00nothing like getting over some post marathon blues...nothing like getting over some post marathon blues with a half marathon PR! awesome job :) sounds like it was a great race.Aronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418163097675963683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956756870207703825.post-70803632110264876442009-05-07T14:18:00.000-04:002009-05-07T14:18:00.000-04:00Great job!

That time puts you 2.5 minutes away from qualifying for NYC on time (the half requirement is 1:23:00 assuming you're in the same age group as me.) So, there's another carrot dangling in front of you to chase. :-)<br /><br />Oh, and I think it's fine to race this early after a marathon. I ran a race last fall 4 days after my marathon and it was one of my best ever. A great way to push aside the heartbreak of the marathon (as it sounds like you were able to do here.)

I am impressed and inspired! <br />Of course I'm to use you as an example and say to myself, "Well, if Lam ran so well in a half just a few weeks after Boston, surely that means I can resume training as well!"<br /><br />Congrats and I hope you have chased the Boston demons away.
