Another run in 34 degree temps, but it was a beautiful morning otherwise, and
I dressed warm enough for it. I decided to speed down the first hill and got
tired by the first mile marker. In fact, I kind of got bored. I had started at
the front of the group and maintained a position toward the front, so there were
only 5 people ahead of me, spaced widely apart. By the end of the race, another
5 people passed me so I ended in 11th place. I don't think I slowed my pace, but
I may have. Having so few people in front might have led me to revert to a
slower pace since it was kind of like a regular run rather than a race. The 8:22
mile/min pace is good, but I've gone faster than that several times before. In
fact, I was 33 seconds slower this year compared to the same race last year. I
don't care that much about this shortfall; I have barely trained for anything in
the past two months.
