Yesterday was a pretty great Saturday, we started early with coffee from
Mo'Joe Coffee House and ran the
2009 Susan G Komen Race for the Cure. We joined the 42,000 participants and started running at 9am. I finished the 3.1 miles in 36 minutes and 9 seconds (that gives me a pace of 11:39 overall, but I know I did the first mile in 10 minutes 20 seconds)! Rod did an excellent job for not training and getting a time of 37 minutes 30 seconds!
Both of us ran the race so I just have a stock picture from the Indianapolis Star.
Since I didn't register as competitive we don't have official times - those are just from my Polar F6! I'm very proud of myself though, I never would have thought I'd finish the race that quickly. I also wanted to thank my mystery runner who when my old friend the side stitch came back and I started walking, she patted me on the shoulder and told me I could make it! I'm amazed that I did this race in under 12 minutes a mile - that was my original running goal! This also wraps up my C25k training - which I'm probably going to repeat week number 9 until the 500 Festival 5k on May 2nd.
Have a great rest of the weekend - I know I will!
