Did another run today: Bradford Valentine Run. The doctor said that if I could touch my toes it meant my back was in good enough shape to run.
Time: 48:30 (from gun to crossing the finish line). Net time (from crossing start line to crossing finish line), unsure, since they didn’t track that. I’m estimating about 47:00. Easily beat my goal of a 10-minute mile pace. Woohoo!
- It was quite hilly. I was hurting around mile 3.
- Unlike the NYC run, the only marker was spray paint on the ground at mile 4. Made pacing difficult.
- The cold was a bit of an issue, mainly in what clothes I needed to wear.
- If I’m going to do more winter runs I need running pants.
