Today’s post is about yesterday’s Grand Slam 4 miler race.
Lynn and I ran it together. I had been worried about the distance and the weather. A week before the race, I hadn’t run outside in a month. So on Sunday and Tuesday, I got out and ran 2.5 miles and 3 miles. I went to Body Sculpting class on Thursday, and was still sore on Saturday morning. Whoops!
Here’s at the start of the race:
We made it to the 2 mile marker pretty good. We walked for about 30 seconds, and then ran until we got to the 3 mile marker for water. We walked for about a minute or so, maybe less- we were chatting and catching up, so I don’t remember how long it was!
The route was super boring!! It started at Slugger Field, on Witherspoon going East, then we turned right onto River Road. We went past Frankfort Ave, made a loop and came back. It was flat, which was good, but was boring- glad Lynn was there to talk to!
Here’s a picture of us close to the finish line:
Ben took a video of us finish:
Time was just over 44 minutes, so an average of 11MM, not bad considering the lack of training and the humidity!
