Adidas Run for the Parks 4 Mile Race.
My first race of the year! I love being a member of NYRR club, I am alerted about upcoming races, and get discounts on them. My biggest complaint about races are when people stand in the wrong corral. I stood in the 9mile pace corral, which means I would hit the starting line after the 8 min mile people, faster people in the front, for a reason! It took about 7 minutes for me to get to the start line, and after that it took about the first mile until I was running with out interference from runners who place themselves in a corral they did not belong. There were also 8,000 people running, which was not taken into account. They should have done the race in waves.
Anyway! I finished, got my free bananas and cliff bars and went home.
Distance 4 Mile
Time: 35:42
Pace: 8:55
My goal was to do it in 36 minutes, so I am happy with it.
The last 4 mile race I ran was July 2006 - my pace was 8:06 - I plan on building back to that.
Saturday - April 21st
Ran in my Saucony sneaks.
Distance: 4.09
Time: 39:35
Pace: 9:39
I am really starting to enjoy my Nike+ - I am trying not to worry about the accuracy so much. Nike claims it is 97% accurate. It is fun to just run and not have a pre-set course. I ran to a H-School I saw the other day on a run, they had a really nice track, the gate was open, so I did 5 laps around the track. There was a man there also running around the track, but he was in khaki pants and was running around while balancing an egg on a spoon. Weird!
I did not feel any pain. So I am going to keep the Saucony Triumph's. I am going to use them for my shorter runs, to break them in.
