this run was the fullsteam / bull city running company / run durham run. ben texted me that we should beat the 9:10 min/mile pace to 8:55 min/mile. i was surprised but up for the challenge especially since i missed my gym workout that day.
the run for me was hard at the beginning. the first mile is up hill with a lot of intersections. it feels real competitive at that point since there are so many runners trying to get in front. after things thinned out, i got a good stride and felt better.
we over achieved and hit a 8:44 average pace for 6.4 miles. what glory that was since it was a first for us both.
