Saturday I ran a two mile race on an actual high school cross country course. It had some nice rolling hills- nothing super steep. The course was completely on grassy fields, so it was a cross country race in that respect as well. This was the second two mile race in a row and I quite like the two mile distance. I liked this race and will probably run it again.
I ran 1.99 miles in 22:24. There were more hills in the second mile, so I spent more time walking, and my time reflects that.
1st mile: 10:31
2nd mile: 11:53
I actually added 1.46 miles to the race distance just walking back and forth from the car to the start of the race- they were that far apart.
One thing to note on this race: I had to fill out a paper entry form and mail it in with a check. I haven't had to do that in years! Very old school. They were looking for volunteers for a variety of things though, so I think they want to bring things a little more up to date for next year.
This race also marked the 40th race since I started my 40 by 40 goal less than a year and a half ago! I have three more races planned for this year, and a few more before my birthday in June, but I will be scaling waaaay back on the number of races I run after the new year. I'll be doing another post about my plans for the rest of the time left in my 40 by 40 goal and my thoughts on the 40 by 40 goal itself.
Weekly Mileage:
Monday- walked 3.54 miles on the treadmill
Thursday- took the kids hiking at our local trails park- 1.54 miles
Saturday- 2 mile cross country race + 1.46 miles walked = 3.45 miles
total miles for the week: 8.53 miles
28th race in 2016
