As part of the lead up for Sarah's half marathon we decided to race a 10 miler. This would give her the chance to get comfortable running a faster pace for 10 miles, and build confidence. The course is 2 loops with rolling hills along Memorial Drive from downtown to St. Thomas High. The plan was to avg 8 min pace for the first half and then run the second half at 7:45. 7:45 pace would be an ideal day target pace for the Houston Half Marathon in Jan. The second goal was a high overall pacing. I did some research on past races and the current Houston Female competitors and felt like Sarah would have a shot at the podium. Sarah did a great job and flowed right along. we nailed pacing and Sarah picked up the overall win! I snuck into the age group awards for 3rd, M 40-49. Donuts are always a well earned treat!
