1:00:14 hours - 4.00 miles - 15:03 min/mile
Welp, once again, I don't know what I'm doing. Just today, as I was getting ready to head for the park for my 4-mile run, I finally noticed that there are actually six Season 1 race missions—not three—a 5, 10, and 20 K for Abel Township, and a 5, 10, and 20 K for New Canton. So I decided to run the New Canton 5K today, and just tack an extra mile onto the end. Which I did. It seems to be the same events as the Abel Township 5K, only from the point of view of a couple of New Canton runners who just happened to be going to the same location as Abel. I was still Runner 5, only I was New Canton's Runner 5, which was rather disorienting, especially when we were watching the Abel Township runner (who, I assume, was Runner 5, which was me, only I was somebody else. Help!).
So, I figured what I'd do is, next week I'll do the Abel 10K, and just walk the last mile, and then the week after, I can do the New Canton 10K, and run the full race. Then I'll have two 20Ks to fit in somewhere, but whatever.
Pretty good time today. Managed to stick to my usual 15:03 minute/mile pace overall. Splits were 13:57, 15:41, 14:46, and 15:37. You can really tell which miles were uphill! Although, that first mile was half uphill and still under 14 minutes, hmm. Going out too fast, I think, but it didn't really seem to slow me down too much. I walked a bit at the end of each mile, only a minute or so. Didn't feel like I really needed it, but thought it would be a good idea anyway. My stomach was a bit wonky, but not enough to bother me. My left hip got a twinge in it for the last mile or so, don't know what's up with that. Anyway, good run overall. Might try to do four runs next week instead of three, but I don't know where I'll fit them in. Maybe Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, if I can avoid the Wednesday Curse, plus Saturday at the park. I won't be able to run on Thursday due to a medical appointment, so we'll just see how it goes.
