Okay - so I finally got out for my first run and my first qualification of the new year. I'm figuring on running my 9 races again this year to qualify for the 2010 NY marathon just in case.
I'm pretty happy with results. Here is what my Nike +iPod measured - the time was accurate, but the distance a little off...you can't see very well in this graphic, but in the larger one I noticed how my pace picked up as the crowd thinned after two miles - my first mile took nearly 11:45 to run!!!
Roadrunner results (official)
Time - 47:01
Pace - 9:24
I was hoping to get out for a long run today but the icy conditions were just too risky - I'm on the road again this week in Boston but going to make a real effort to get some miles logged.

Not to make this into a 'love fest' but Brian is too modest to point out that this is the FASTEST per mile race he's ever run officially for NYRR. This is particularly impressive given his silly slow start, at the back of the pack (we didn't link up for the bib exchange, causing me to run, with Bib, at the back of the 8 minute milers and Brian to start at the back)
ReplyDeleteA great result on Brian's part - well done!
