Dad finished the half in 3:05 - just 5 minutes off his stretch goal of 3 hours. He did negative splits, starting with 14- to 15-minute miles, and finishing with 11- to 13-minute miles. I'm so proud of his effort on the course. I tweeted our progress and notable music choices throughout the race; it's fun to read those and kinda re-live our experience. Mile 6: Electric Slide. Mile 7: "Elvis," performing Don't. Mile 8: DJ at the Edgecliff playing Working Day and Night by Michael Jackson (p.s. I flippin' loved this and had to contain myself. Will add it to my running playlist). Mile 8.5: I'll Be There by the Jackson Five.
Dan finished the full in 3:50, and looked strong as I saw him running down the final stretch. Come to think of it, I think this was his 5th Flying Pig! He's curled up on the sofa now, watching the Reds game. And by watching I mean napping.
more highlights to come...
