Well this was my first 15k so it was going to be a PR for say. Yet after running the 10k 2 weeks ago. I was sick for 3 days with a cold. Thought maybe I just pushed it too hard and paid for it. So when I had my goals for this with my training so far this year. I was wanting to just go out and enjoy this run and get in some good miles. So ran a bit slower then what I would of liked to. But had a great time running with Liz. We went out a bit fast for her. And so paid for it in the last few miles. But she did really well. I was able to also talk to a few people from the blog. Sasha, Jeffmc, Mary Ann, Allie to name a few. The weather was alot better then 2 weeks ago. Slight wind and warm temps. Well here are the splits. Mile 1 8:55 Mile 2 8:52 GF took off on her own and I stuck with Liz Mile 3 8:51 Mile 4 9:12 Bit off with the aid station Mile 5 9:12 Mile 6 9:32 Mile 7 9:47 Our goal was to stay under 10mins for the rest Mile 8 9:53 Mile 9 9:38 Mile 9.3 8:19
These splits are mostly for her splits. She really did good and I felt good afterwards. My foot felt good on this run and no pain after. Next race will be in 2 weeks a 10k. Hopefully I will feel good enough to push it harder. Was a good series and I really enjoyed it. And looking forward to doing it again next year.
