Age Place: 23rd

Splits: 6:14, 6:09, 6:05, 6:23, 6:02, 6:06.

Nice weather for a race. I'm not sure where that 6:23 mile came from. I felt pretty good throughout the race. I probably lost a few seconds in the first mile because I got stuck behind people.

So far this year, despite my plantar fasciitis issues, I'm doing about the same as I did last year. My Coogan's time was exactly the same as last year, 18:22. My Scotland 10K was a little faster last year, 37:57. I wish my foot pain would go away so that I could train properly.

The West Side YMCA men finished in 11th place out of 55 teams. The women finished 22nd out of 43 teams. The masters men finished 14th out of 49 teams.

NYC Half Marathon

Even though the NYC Half was two weeks ago, it's still fresh in my mind. My plantar fasciitis is still affecting my training. So I wasn't expecting much from myself in the race. I thought I had an outside shot at 1:25. But it went much better than expected. These were my splits:

1. 6:35

2. 6:38

3. 6:22

4. 6:26
