Saturday I ran a 5k. This was my third year running this
race, but the first year on this course, so it was a different race
from the last two times. The organizers moved it to a completely new location, so it wasn't even run on part of the old course. Not sure why they changed it, though I suspect it had to do with traffic and closing roads.
Winter is finally here: it was 27* at the start of the race. I almost wore my green fleece, but decided it would be too warm. So I switched it for a lighter jacket and was just right. I left the hat on, and unlike the Halloween race, I didn't regret wearing it. Temps in the 20s = hat wearing weather.
The course was pretty good, though that's all relative. Like 99% of the races around here it was hilly. I handled the hills in the first mile, but had to walk during the second mile. The third mile was flatter, so I did more running. I thought I was faster in the third mile, but looking at the stats on my watch, I was a smidge slower in the third mile than in the second.
I ran 3.03 miles in 34:16, which is the exact same time I ran this race last year on the other course. Interesting...
1st mile: 10:18
2nd mile: 11:50
3rd mile: 11:53
I wanted to go on a hike this week, but I was just too busy. I’m still trying
to find a good balance of getting work done and getting my exercise (and getting out of the house).
Last week’s mileage
Monday- 3.34 walk and run on the treadmill
Thursday- 3.12 walk on the treadmill
Saturday- 3.03 mile race
Total: 9.49 miles
30th race in 2016
