10-mile dress rehearsal
nope, didn't run 10 miles at speedwork!! but did 3 x 1.05 miles (1.05 mi=5 laps of the Great Hill track) at 10-mile pace. Which was honestly a perfect workout for me with Broad Street in 2 1/2 weeks. The McMillan calculator suggested a 10-miler at an 8:10 pace based on my last 4-mile race...so tried to aim for that, give or take and wound up with this...
| 1st "mile" 8:31 (8:05 pace) | 2nd "mile" 8:28 (8:02 pace) | 3rd "mile" 8:15 (7:50 pace) | |||
| Time | Pace | Time | Pace | Time | Pace |
| 1:43 | 8:09 | 1:43 | 8:09 | 1:40 | 7:54 |
| 1:40 | 7:54 | 1:42 | 8:05 | 1:39 | 7:50 |
| 1:43 | 8:09 | 1:41 | 7:59 | 1:40 | 7:54 |
| 1:43 | 8:09 | 1:41 | 7:59 | 1:40 | 7:54 |
| 1:42 | 8:04 | 1:41 | 7:59 | 1:37 | 7:40 |
Not bad, right? And no being the rabbit this time too. :)
In other news, I finally got my March Madness payout!! A cool $150. Of course, I would have gotten $350 had I only picked Memphis over UCLA to make the final...but still, $150 is nothing to sneeze at!! :)

I'm looking forward to Broad Street. Have you run it before? It's one of my favorite races. This will be my third year.
I hadn't run it before, but heard very good things about the race, I had never done a 10-mile race before, I wanted to do a non-NYRR race this spring so why not? :) I'm definitely looking forward to it as well!!
