I took part in the World Media Run this weekend. Even though I couldn’t be in Florida to run the “actual” race, runners were allowed participate by running a “virtual” race on their own. So basically I ran a solo race through my neighborhood today.
Ran 3.11 miles in 25:52.93 (8:19/mi pace) with an average speed of 7.2 mph and a max of 10.8 mph. My 1-mile splits were 7:31, 8:49, and 8:43, with the last tenth at a 7:25/mi pace. Burned about 460 calories.
The weather was certainly more agreeable than yesterday. It was a sunny 35 degrees out with some light wind. Still, I felt like I worked far harder than I should have to just hit 25:52. Perhaps I took the first mile out too fast? Or perhaps I’m starting to lose some fitness from being a slacker these last two months.
Either way, I’m relatively happy with today’s results… and the race shirt is awesome.
Be sure to check out the race reports from Nate, Eric, and Marcus.
Everyone seems to be lovin on them shirts. I’m glad you dug them.
