I ran the 3M in Austin this morning. My third time running this race, and it was great, as usual. The weather was perfect, the course is net downhill and I'm in the tail end of marathon training--the perfect makings for a PR. And, spoiler alert, I got one! Woohoo!

I ran this race in 2:00:23 last year and was a bit disappointed that I couldn't find that extra 24 seconds to put me under 2. But I also killed my quads and had to take a few days off my marathon training last year after this race. So I was hoping to find the right balance this year--under 2 PR with minimal damage to the legs. After an interesting start to the day (an almost flat tire I had to fill in the dark on my way to the race and then crazy long port-o-potty lines that had me exiting just as they were doing the 10 second count down) I settled in at my goal pace and held it pretty steady through all 13.1. Because of my potty stop pre-race, I ended up jumping in line right with the 2:00 pacers. But after a mile or so, I realized that was messing with my head, so I pulled in front of them a bit, and then found my groove again. I never saw them again.

I gave it some more gas in the last mile, making it my fastest by about 20 seconds, and came in at 1:57:24 chip time! And I feel tired, but not beaten up. Win, win!

Can't wait to hear about everyone else's races today!
