Marine Corps Marathon 10K - 10/22/2017

I wasn’t sure how well I’d do with a 10 km run. The last time I had run that far was in July and the last time I ran anything farther was back in February. And for the past 3-4 months, the majority of my runs have been less than 30 minutes on the treadmills at OTF. So, it was safe to say that my endurance training has been a little lacking.

Still, I set an unofficial goal for myself of finishing under 50 minutes. My official finish time was 50:01. Can’t be too mad at that. During the run, I also tried to keep my splits even-ish, which I think I did pretty well, too.

I took a gamble at the Marine Corps Marathon expo last weekend and pre-paid for the digital download package. I figured that I would see a few photographers along the 6.2 miles, so I’d probably get a some good pics in. Well, apparently, the only photographers that saw me were at the end of the race.

Slacking again on my run reports. This isn’t going to be one, just a quick update.

I ran the MCM 10k (Marine Corps Marathon) two weeks ago. It was fun. I hadn’t gone running around the Mall before, so that was nice.

I also found out just how unreliable my phone apps are for pace information. I knew they were a bit off, but I didn’t realize just how much. My official pace was 15:39 (which is close to my goal of 15:30, so I’m happy with it), but my two apps were off by about 30 seconds. That’s kind of a lot. At least I found that out before next weekend and my Avengers races.
