Jingle Bell Run
19F when I woke up, with wind chills in single digit. May have warmed up to mid 20s by the 10am start. Other than the cold air, it's a nice, calm, sunny day.
I'm using this run as the official kickoff for my winter training. It shall provide a gauge for me. Late winter I will do another race to see if there're any improvements.
As for the run today, I didn't have too high an expectation since I haven't train much in the last couple weeks. I was just glad holding a 6:00 pace wasn't a huge struggle. Having to run the bridge twice may have helped with my placing. I finished just behind the first woman, so I know that I still lack the speed in these shorter distances.
Splits: Half-3.03, 1mi-2.52 (5.56), 2mi-6.08 (12.04), 3mi-5.51 (17.55), Finish-32 (18.27)
