Reading Half Marathon

Training this year was minimal, peaking at two 10 milers on consecutive weekends a few weekends before the race. The race was just a warm up to lunch at The Hinds Head!

Marty navigated the early congestion best at a hotter pace than planned (8 minute miles). After 3 miles we came back together and then drifted apart again. Marty remained within sight of Owen for the next 6 miles before walk-running the last four
