BFC Fun Run -- Sat. November 8

Tired after a long week, so I was only just in time to get out and drive down by 9:45 for the 10 a.m. start at the B'town Family Center. Nice, mainly familiar small crowd, with lots of Dunkin' T-shirts (Andy, Jay, Dawn, Amy, me, and at least 4-5 others from SRRC but not in T-shirts); I wore mine too for the whole run, as I was determined not to race it. Tony, the 70 (no, now 71) year old guy from various local races including the Peaked a couple of weeks ago, was there, as was Cliff R. Didn't really warm up, and set off trying to stay back with Dawn, but it was a bit too slow; I ended up doing about 7:40s for the first two miles, which felt (in a race) really unnatural! But then the third mile I did a few strides, surging up the hilly bits and then stretching out a bit more near the end. So, time didn't matter, but for the record:

Time: 22:15
Distance: 3.1 miles (5K)
Speed: 8.36 mph /7:10

Comment: hoping that this sets me up for tomorrow, and that we can be rain free and mild like today. Fingers crossed!
