Runnin' of the Green Island (4 Miles): PR!

The Runnin' of the Green (Island) is one of the early almost spring races around here. Only a short 20 minute drive from my house to Green Island. Plenty of parking a couple blocks from the start.

It was already 40 degrees when i got there and quickly realized I should have worn shorts instead of tights. I did some easy run warm ups and then headed for the start.

Finished in 31:41, a pace of 7:55 min/mile. My goal was to finish in under 8 minutes pace, so I am pleased with this result. My splits show I started out a little too fast, since I could not maintain that pace the last 2 miles.

Mile 1: 7:36
Mile 2: 7:38
Mile 3: 7:56
Mile 4: 8:31

All in all a great run!
