5 Mile Thanksgiving Day Run


Woke up at 7:15am this morning and was out the door by 8:30 for a planned 5 mile run to set the benchmark on the 5 mile challenge Scott and I have going on nikeplus. The temps were mild for MA in November (50 degrees) as I started on the run. There were quite a few hills along the way and I stopped about 4 times (including once to stretch), which I'd like to cut down on. I ended up running down to the Ashland State Park, ran about 1/8th of a mile of it, before turning around and heading back.


I ended up finishing the 5.01 mile run in 42:25 for a pace of 8:28/mile. As far as the 5 mile challenge goes, I set the barometer at 42:10. I must admit I finished really hard to try and bring down the time and was really huffing and puffing during my recovery.

I am impressed and proud we are back running...nike challenges are good...me, you and Stephen running the Kentuky Derby Marathon...at any pace..and together...would be an experience hard to match.
