29 7/7 F 410 31:45 10:13Out of 78 runners, I was 38. So in the top 50% overall.
But I was last in my class!Boogers.
I hate being last!Oh well.
My pace isn't bad - it's just about 45 second per miles off of where I wanted it to be!
It was chilly (around 47 degrees Farenheit at the start) and hilly (and I haven't run or trained on hills). So, if I'm going to actually be pushing for time - I need to speed train (in addition to endurance train) AND train over hills and in the actual weather (since I usually do climate controlled gym and prefer to run on the treadmill RIGHT in front of the fan!)

well, i think this is fabulous. and i say: congratulations!
Hey, you did it. That's what counts.
If you want to work the pace, try varying your pace as you go (fartlet work, I think it's called). Do a block faster, then slower a block. Get your body used to change just as you got it used to a solid pace. I used to do that, and it worked.
I say lose the treadmill! I hate 'em--then again, I am tall and long-legged, and that makes them seem really flimsy to me. Get outside in the rain and the snow and all the good and the bad. (That's what I need to do!)

Outside this time of year, if I'm home during daylight hours isn't bad and I do that sometimes.
However, once it's May - it will be too hot to run unless I run at 0430. We'll be at 90+ by then and it is hard to carry enough water.
