Race #1 - 2019

  • 1 mi - 8:25 / 2 mi - 8:07 / 3 mi - 7:57
  • Overall Average Pace: 8:03
  • I had A LOT of nerves prior to the race. I probably needed to warm-up just a little longer. My calves were pretty tight for the first mile.
  • Overall, I am pleased with my time. I'll admit that I was a little disappointed when I was able to see the finish clock. I really, really wanted to be under 25:00.

Workout: Long run (targeted pace - 12:33)

  • 2 mi - 11:20
  • 4 mi - 11:36
  • 6 mi - 10:35
  • 8 mi - 11:23 (I was a little distracted running through the main streets of town. I did a bit of window shopping)
  • 10 mi - 10:49
  • 12 mi - 10:32
  • 14 mi - 10:39
  • 16 mi - 10:50 (I ran two additional miles because I feel that my weekly mileage is too low)

It was a chilly, slick morning. It took me two hours to get out of the house. I really did not want to run, but it was a pleasant, productive time with my thoughts!
