I ran the Whenuapai Half Marathon yesterday, and was pretty pleased with my performance, 1 hour 58 minutes.
I started at the back of the pack to reinforce that I needed to start slowly. Once I got into a groove around 5 km into the race, I started passing each runner, and I honestly cannot remember any runners passing me at any stage of the run. Passing each runner gives you a bit of positive energy which makes you stronger and faster. I certainly felt that in this race.
Though it was outside my personal best of 1 hour 54 minutes, I was certainly happy with my run. Unlike the previous half marathons I have done, the course was scenic and peaceful as we trudged through rolling green countryside. Would definitely do it again next year.

Thinking about this objectively, I now realise how hardcore you've become with your running.
Great job :)
This is an appropriate thread about ipods and runing I just found...
