Wickedly Average
Some awesome running, everybody. Jay, Freesoul, Ric-G!
My run wasn't perfect - finally got the intervals. I ran mile 1 in 8:22, a little traffic there held me up. Mile 2 in 8:30, with the race's only uphill. Mile 3 - 8:07, and a 6:44 pace for the last tenth as I kicked it in high gear.
Ended up second in age group, but I don't know what #1 did. They only gave prizes to first place runners in each group, but everyone got a finisher's medal.
Lots of sponsors for this one. I hope that it can grow next year. Perhaps if they weren't up against a money race that the Chattanooga Track Club was hosting the same day, the turnout would have been even bigger. As it was, I think that there were around 125 runners, not bad for a first time event.

Back from my 12 miler. I think I am finally catching up with myself a bit- I felt really prepared for the distance, even with the head cold. It was a lovely day here, sunny and about 70 degrees. About perfect for my preference.
