congrats again! as you already know, i think you ran an excellent time. many people would kill for a 2-hour time (and i doubt they are battling back injuries, knee injuries, groin recovery...) :) to be 10-12 minutes off your pr in a half WITH all those recent aches and pains (and less than ideal training) is incredible!
awesome job rick!
