yeah no it wasn't it wasn't great divide it was a different one it was um it doesn't matter it's the same same race series so i started running uh two years and five months ago i had a friend at the gym that told me um you know you don't run because you're scared of running and you're not going to be good at it so you don't do it so signed up and ran the colfax half marathon and i say ran very loosely uh When I started training 28, 29 months ago with running, a 12-minute mile was a 175 heart rate effort.
