A steady pace
So, I've completed my plan of doing three races in three weeks.
Now, I'm thinking about my times. I suppose I have other things I could be thinking about but this is what's on my mind.
My mile pace in the half-marathon was actually five seconds per mile faster than it was in a 5K. Maybe this doesn't mean anything.
Anyway, here's how it all breaks down.
A 10K on Nov. 19: 1:05.27 - That's 6.2 miles at a 10:32 pace.
A 5K on Nov. 24: 33:18. That's 3.1 miles at a 10:45 pace.
A half marathon on Dec. 3: 2:19.41. That' 13.1 miles at a 10:40 pace.
The 10K split on the half-marathon: 1:05.57. That's 6.2 miles at a 10:39 pace.
This obviously isn't something to obsess over. But I find it a wee bit fascinating.
The bottom line is that whenever I race again, I'll try to run faster.

Me, too. My new resolution is going to be to run faster before running longer races again.
