I headed up to Rehoboth Beach early the morning of Sunday, April 16, to pace my fourth 2:45 half marathon in a row with Beast Pacing. I’m picky about which races I will pace, because I’m only comfortable pacing flat, local half marathons, but despite warmer-than-I’d-hoped-for temperatures, the Coastal Delaware Half Marathon was a success … More My 14th time pacing was a success in Coastal Delaware
