I'm not in the menagerie, but on Wednesday I came close to a new personal record for running 5K, just while out training for a fall race.

While my longer run today was a little slower, I suppose my goal of a two hour half marathon seems achievable. My personal record is 2:05:20.

Nice! What's your personal record?

According to Garmin (so last nine months of running), it's 26:36. I think I could get that below 25 minutes if I worked toward that goal.

AWESOME. I can do a 5K in about 30 minutes. Then I collapse and have to remain immobile for about an hour. I'm a tanking class, not a DPS.

That's how I've felt after the two half marathons I've done. The runner high wears off, and then I'm just toast for a bit.
