I'd say that's a typical pace if you're new to running! And you have a lot to be proud of :)<br /><br />The cool/weird thing is in terms of pace eventually something clicks and what is comfortable gets faster. Probably one of the reasons I can't seem to get bored with running, there's always something to work on.inspiREDtorun13https://www.blogger.com/profile/06142467653782014657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595626448353854900.post-90693628331275716432010-06-27T15:33:36.114-07:002010-06-27T15:33:36.114-07:00Thanks...I appreciate it.

That's downhill"...no one would sign up :)<br /><br />"Flat and fast" is a key phrase to look for if you want a flat course. "Rolling hills"= HILLY. And usually if there is only one hilly section the course will be described as "flat with a hill at mile (fill in the blank)."<br /><br />Flat is easier. But hills make you stronger. Sounds like you completed a challenging first race! Hope your knee gets better!inspiREDtorun13https://www.blogger.com/profile/06142467653782014657noreply@blogger.com
