The inaugural Thea\u2019s Star of Hope half marathon in Robbinsville, NJ. It\u2019s great to have a half so close to home. It was a peak mileage week for my marathon training and I ran a 1:53 half marathon yesterday so I was just looking to have fun. Turned out that I felt really good during the race and I somehow managed a PR by 3 seconds! Finish time; 1:39:23. This was a great race put on my some fine folks. Can hardly wait to run it again! #StarOfHope #HalfMarathon #Robbinsville #Running via Instagram http:\/\/bit.ly\/2uRLRuQ<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

It’s nice to know that I can eke out a half marathon with little training over a hot and humid summer. At around 2:11 it is my slowest road half marathon ever and almost 40 minutes slower than my course PR from just a few years ago.\nStill, I’m happy with that time for an event I had no business running and other than overheated I feel great.\nLooking forward to winter running, gotta get through another week in the mid 90’s first.\nThank you to @beastcoastpro for putting on another fab event. See you in Hainesport.\n.\n.\n\n#instarunners #ultrarunning #marathontraining #trailrunning #runner #running #runningman #beatyesterday #garmin #strava #hokaoneone #altrarunning","author":"John Beck","date":"September 3, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"View on Instagram https:\/\/instagr.am\/p\/CwvMeDgL_rp\/","rel":"","context":"In "John Beck"","block_context":{"text":"John Beck","link":"https:\/\/beckinabox.com\/?cat=2"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]}],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beckinabox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beckinabox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beckinabox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beckinabox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beckinabox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/beckinabox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1408\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beckinabox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beckinabox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beckinabox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
