Notes
Because Eleni had an appt for an MRI in Glasgow and I had a nearby show the next day, we stayed over in Glasgow and did a park run. Eleni ran well and I had a bad day at the office. Horrible warmup, well over 9:00 pace and I knew then that I wasn't going to race this feeling as tired as I did.
Before the start, I went to the back of the pack looking for Eleni and the rac started, so I got stuck in the pack and had to run 10:20 pace for the first half mile. Normally this would have frustrated me, but knowing I was going to take it easy, no worries.Things opened up and I hit the fist mile in 9:30.
I passed my honey halfway and slowly went faster. Mile 2 in 8:18 and 7:57 for the last mile. Running about 8:00 for the last mile felt like 7:00 effort, so I made the right decision to back off.
I think the course is short. My watch had it exactly 3 mile and Eleni had 3:06. 2.5 loops course. Mostly flas with one hill about 100m.
