Ran it!

Very slow start to the Bridge to Bridge run this morn­ing. It was very con­gest­ed and hard to get past any­one. My split for the first two miles was 21:06, and the field cleared only very grad­u­al­ly from there. But I still hit my mark over­all, com­ing back to a (by my watch) 1:05:26 fin­ish, aver­ag­ing an 8:46 pace over the whole 12K course. That’s an 8:07 pace over the last 5.45 miles.

Also learned more about how to use my HR mon­i­tor. Over the course of the run my aver­age HR was 169, and my max was 187. So I was run­ning to fin­ish. I prob­a­bly had a lit­tle bit more kick in me, but I pushed through fair­ly strong through most of the race.

I’ll post again when the results are in. But right now I feel great. GREAT!!!!! Woooo!!!!!
