In February, J and I ran the Strawberry Stampede 5k.  
It was brutally cold this day.  My hands never did thaw throughout the entire race.  J & I ran the first two miles together - I was really proud of him, as we pulled 9:15 miles.  Then, J took off.  I thought - "I sure hope he realizes there is 1.1 miles left."  I didn't say anything and just kept my pace.  At 2.5 miles, I kicked it in gear - passed a couple of people (including J) and managed to finish in 28:40.  Not my best, but better than I've been doing since I started training for a half.  I did manage to earn my first age group award - 1st place!
J rocked a 28:50 time - 4th in his age group.
