Ok, I know its not Thursday anymore, I'm late posting this one. I spent the later part of the week helping move my girlfriend home from college, and while she was taking her last exam I went on a run. I am used to running around sea level, not 1000ft up like in Williamsport, PA. I was amazed to find that even with the elevation change, I had no problems with my breathing. If anything it was even easier. I was going out hoping for 6 miles, but cut short at 5.62mi since I ran into my girlfriend as she was coming back from her exam. My mile splits were getting slower and slower as I went, but from one to the next were remaining fairly close to each other. I am getting better with my pacing, which will be very important if I plan on running 26 miles, 285 yards.
--Mile Splits--
Mile 1 - 8:28
Mile 2 - 8:39
Mile 3 - 9:55
Mile 4 - 10:39
Mile 5 - 10:39
I would also like to note that the start of my run was downhill, and was an out and back. So obviously the back was uphill. Race day tomorrow, so race report will be posted tomorrow. Until then, cool runnings!
