Half Marathon Number 15

I finished Half Marathon #15 today.  That's 15 half marathons in 14 months and the last one this calendar year.  It was 70 degrees today and the race started in the late morning so it definitely did not feel like a mid-November run.  My time was almost identical to Nike.  So not too great considering there wasn't a hill in sight.  And I walked up all the massive mountains along the Nike course.  Since I had plenty of time for reflection given my snail's pace, I realized my training had done an excellent job adequately preparing me to run slow.  I did 3 minutes of running and 1 minute of walking through most of the race and I could not pick up the pace.  By mile 10, I was just kind of over the whole thing and wanting to finish.  My next half will probably be January or maybe February.  In the meantime, I need to pick up the pace and do some speed workouts or I will truly become callipides who essentially ran around in circles.  Not fun and makes one terribly dizzy.
