Hey I will be exiting the OS/Get Fast portion of my season training in early February and have selected and pulled the trigger on ending it with a PR attempt at the Myrtle Beach Half Marathon on Feb. 16th...

Anyone ever run it? Comments/

Anyone in the area want to run it?

Cheers!

I have not run it but know some friends who have and they enjoyed it. I am looking for a race too... what time are you going to try to hit for a PR?

I did the marathon several years ago--maybe the first time it was run. Myrtle Beach has lots of cheap places to stay and a very flat course. My recollection is that the weather conditions were ideal for a race. I would do it again, but it doesn't fit my schedule. And it's a long trip from Michigan.

Thanks for the feedback/input.

My goal for the race is an "Old Guy" PR (my PR post age 40)....I'm trying to get back under 1:30. (My Young Guy PR was 1:17 in my 20's...don't think I'll see those again...heheheheh)

Myrtle Beach was my first full marathon - super flat course, and a nice little trot along the ocean. Weather was perfect for running at that time of the year as well - probably a good place to try and PR.
