Notes
Spring Thaw 20 miler.
2:30:38 for a 7:32 pace is official time. 13 out of 66 20 miler finishers; 4th in age group.
for 10 miler: 75th, 10th in age, 38:37 5 mile split; 1:15:13 finisher 7:31 pace (peed on first lap.)
Sick, so I took it easy. Easier than I could have, but I suppose it was good. This time is NOT the chip time and reflects "time off" for my pee of about 1:10. Ran with a guy who did Boston. He was really taking it easy, cause he had some beers last night: more than I did. But I felt like running w/ someone. Took a 5 mile lap, basically, to catch him after my pee (on the first lap. must train better!) Course somewhat slushy, so side to siding. Also, rolling gentle hills, which was nice. Walked a couple water stops. Not out of need.
I am happy I took it easy, but would def. say, if not sick and better rested and had I pushed, I easily could have done 7 min miles or just under. But I ran the run I planned, so that's good. Let's just get this effin cold behind me.
Also, almost late: Car wouldn't start. Kathleen had to drop me off. Had about 10 minutes to get ready & to start.
