Notes
Very good run at the Bix7 this morning. I wasn't sure how this was going to go since my training probably peaked a month and a half ago. I have not put in many miles, and I surely hadn't run much in the way of hills. I decided to try and come in under 1:05:00 this year, which would be a sizable improvement over last year's effort. Made it up Brady fine, passed the first mile about a minute faster than last year and decided to push the first half a bit since it's mostly downhill and get ahead of pace a bit. Saved enough in the tank to make it up the back half - and then blistered down Brady street and made some nice strides for the finish. Overtook a lot of folks that I let go by me on the way to the top of the hill.
Overall shaved almost 5 minutes off of my chip time. 1:07:59 last year to 1:03:23 this year. Proud of the effort considering how much my mileage has dropped off with the new job; and I didn't feel sick at the finish line!
