w****1 发帖数: 4931 | 1 while I was warming on the trail this morning, I almost sprained my ankle.
Actually I did sprain my ankle, and it hurt like crap for a second, but
luckily it wasn't serious. I was literally one inch away from getting taken
out of running for a month. To think about the prospect that months of
training could be undone because I wasn't looking for one second, well, it
just makes me appreciate the fact that I'm still up running.
the race was small but it's got quite a few serious looking runners. one guy
was wearing a greater boston track club T-shirt, which by definition means
that he is fast. we started out at a reasonable pace -- well it felt
reasonable, though my GPS said 5:4X at one point. soon a pack of 5 runners
formed ahead of me, and it was clear that they were gonna be faster than the
rest of us. I was with 4,5 other runners in the second pack. After 1.5
miles I took the lead of the pack and started running on my own. There was
this old guy who seemed to be treating the race as an interval workout -- he
would pass us and then slow down, and then pass us again and so on and so
forth. After 2 miles I took a wrong turn, and he yelled from behind "on your
left!". it was good that he was with me! Then he told me that he would
finish his workout soon, and he wasn't even actually racing.
After 3 miles, I lost the sight of the pack in front of me, and yet I don't
see anyone behind me either. It was more like a time trial than a race. I
pushed myself to sustain a 6:1X pace, and had a strong finish. The course
was a little short. My GPS says 4.97 miles in 31:01. My official time was 30
will be printed on Boston Globe Sunday. Oh well, next time. |

w****1 发帖数: 4931 | 7 That's way too many exclamation marks, man.:) It wasn't such a fast pace. I
would need to run close to that pace for the HM if I were to qualify for NYC
marathon.

w****1 发帖数: 4931 | 19 nah, it was 6:14 avg. It was really pretty slow compared to some of my other
races. But I didn't feel that I went at 100% effort today -- since I was
able to chat at mile 3.:) It was a good race for me.

w****1 发帖数: 4931 | 20 Been icing my ankle a bit. It hurts when I flex in a certain way, but not
when I walk or run so it's fine. I'm gonna stay on the road tomorrow, no
rugged trails for a few days.
