Azalea Trail Run 10K in Mobile, AL

I FINALLY got Scott to run a 10K with me!! It was a bit chilly, but by the end it was great! Here we are before the race :)

I think we both did great! I don't like that the race organizers do not use your chip time as an official time, but I am using it! I went into this race just wanting to run the whole thing and take it easy since I had not properly prepared for 6 miles. I ran this 10K faster than the last time I ran it, but 3 seconds and I ran a little bit farther! I ran 6.29 miles in 1:03:54, which is a pace of 10:09 per mile! You can view my route here.  I was very proud of Scott for completing the run! It was tough for him since he had not ran this far before. I highly recommend preparing adequately for any race you run, no matter the distance! There weren't any pictures of me that I could find :( but, here we are at the truck when we were leaving!

 

I can't wait to see how we do at the Spartan in April!! Here's to the next workout! Until then...

Now we come to March! Before you know it, this year will be over!! I had quite a few workouts this month, check them out!
