It was very disappointing to see snow on the ground when I left the house. It was sticking to the roads and the East High Track. I met up with White from the blog just south of the track and we ran up to the start about 3.2 miles. We met up with his wife Ashley as well and they were both very nice. I am jealous that White has such a good running partner.
The roads were slippery and treacherous. The goal was to run sub 5:30 miles. I wasn't sure how it would go with the slippery icy roads, but it turned out ok. Splits were 5:26, 5:32, 5:25 and 30 seconds to finish.
Cooled down with White and Ashley about 2.4 more.
The hip felt fine. I generally don't notice it during races. Looking forward to 22 miles tomorrow. |
