15K!

This weekend O$ and I went to run in the Corbitt 15K race in Central Park. We were both pretty excited to do this event, since we hadn’t run that far together yet. I had run 10 miles before, and O$ had ran up to 9. So we were both anxious and a little bit nervous. We decided to run from her parent’s place, to the race, so we were guaranteed to run at least 10 miles, since the race was only about 9.3, and a good warm up mile is good to throw in beforehand.

We ran together, or very close to each other for most of the race. Only near the end at one of the last hills did I start to get angry and run faster. So miles 8-9 are the only miles we didn’t run together. I think we both agreed that it was better to run at our own pace when we were more tired. So that worked out well.

I don’t have any races coming up in the near future. I’ve got the half marathon coming up in a month, so the next month will be prepping for that.

Here is a pic of me at the Jingle Bell race last weekend.

These are my split times for the race. I'm pretty amazed that I get faster the longer I run. Weird weird weird. I mean it makes sense that I run slow at the start because I'm running in a pack of 5k people, but I'm trying to figure out why I can kick it up for the last few miles. Maybe that is just normal.
