Running around town

Ras na hEireann was Sunday in Somerville, and I met up with what felt like huge number of people between the 10 minute and the 12 minute pace markers.  Somewhere along the line I decided that I mostly like running (not quite sure I love running yet), but I didn't even get into running until I moved away from Somerville.  It felt a little strange to run through the town that I have done so much walking in, along Cedar Street and down the bike path.

I ran if not as fast as I can on the treadmill at least as fast as I ran in last year's 5 mile Iron Girl, and had a respectable 9:47 min/mile pace (that's 6:04 min/km).  I'm feeling much better about running this year's half marathons, now that I don't feel like I let quite as much slide when I stopped doing a lot of running last fall.

The race results are already up in case you ran it and want to see your official time.

Of course, with running the race and going out to On the Hill afterwards, I didn't really get much knitting done over the weekend.  It was mostly a weekend of running and silly vampire novels, but this week should be much better.  I'll be able to add knitting into the mix and do three things next weekend!

Congratulations on your time! It turns out we were standing in the same section of the herd. ;)
