Going into today's run Ben and I decided that when we completed today's 7 mile run we were going to register for the Cap City Marathon. While it was pretty cold outside my body warmed up after a mile or two. The beginning of the run was sweet running down high street into the downtown area. It's funny that we always take a cab to all the bars downtown and had never thought it was physically possible to get there by foot. After running into downtown we ran through victorian village and into Granview Heights before running along the Olentangy River on the Olentangy River trail. It was awesome getting to run along the river for a few miles. My iPod also died half way through which kind of sucked but getting to talk made the run go by a lot faster. The 7.43 miles was finished in 1:12:44 and the mile splits were as follows:
Mile 1: 9:34
Mile 2: 9:34
Mile 3: 11:06 (stopped for a minute to look for Ben's earpiece)
Mile 4: 9:43
Mile 5: 9:46
Mile 6: 10:07
Mile 7: 9:25
Mile 8: 8:07
I am officially registered for the Half Marathon and can't wait for the rest of training.
10 weeks till the race!
