Its actually really relevant to a half-marathon I did this past weekend...I had done my &quot;all-out&quot; half marathon 2 weeks earlier, this one I planned to take it easier...&quot;easier&quot; turned out to be a marathon pace effort.  It was tough getting passed...the competitor in me had to force myself to not go after them-and was a little wistful looking at all the great times and PRs afterwards-but I was glad I stuck to plan and am definitely more confident about my goal time for NYC because of it-it was a great chance to rehearse a game-day plan, I had my good half 2 weeks ago :)
