The Hills

Woo hoo! I had another 10 mile race this morning. The race was the Downers Grove 5 & 10 miler that I also ran last year. I was a bit concerned about how I would do considering that I have not been training much this year :/ But amazingly enough...I have improved my time again! This is also very surprising to me since this is a very hilly course. Once the race started I got to thinking and I was like...oh no...no wonder my time for the Soldier Field 10m was so much less than last years DG 10m. I was wrong though...I am faster! See the times here:

Mile 1: 8:23.6
Mile 2: 8:21.3
Mile 3: 8:37.9

Mile 4: 8:14.8

Mile 5: 8:13.1

Mile 6: 8:14.3

Mile 7: 8:43.4

Mile 8: 8:57.5

Mile 9: 8:57.5

Mile 10: 8:36.0

Official Time: 1:24:48
Pace: 8:29min/mile


I also found out about another 10m race...Waterfall Glen Xtreme 10. I signed up today :D The crazy thing is that it is a very hilly course, worse than the DG 10m...yikes! One month to train!
