Ran the M.A.D. Half Marathon.

Started out way too fast as I was keeping Gray within visual distance.  First mile marker was actually 1.38 on my GPS which was a sign of things to come.  Between miles 3 to 5, I had a side-ache which told me I started out way too fast but it did help me to get my pace to where it should have been.  I still remained in second place with the slower pace.  I was surprised by the rolling hills and strong head wind, but surprisingly felt strong for 13 miles.  At mile 14.2, I knew that the course was really screwed up and then they told me to go an extra 2 miles at the end which about pushed me over the edge.  But I pushed through it and finished the 16 mile "Half Marathon" with an average 7:28 pace.  At the finish I saw people crossing the line in front of me that were half marathers too.  Apparently they didn't have to run the extra 2 miles at the end, so I technically still finished 2nd overall eventhough the race results will not show that.  Oh well, at least I got in a good 16 miles and felt better than I expected.  IT Band did not bother me once and the INOV8's were awesome!
