On Saturday afternoon I ran the It’s a Wonderful Run 5k in Seneca Falls. I finished the race in 26:22 averaging 8:30 miles which is a pretty good pace for the number of stops that I made.
The weather was colder than the past few years, but the streets were clear and easy to run on. The main area where I lost time was in waiting for three others for the shot-ski.
As the weather gets cold, this will probably be my last race for the year.
For the second year in a row, I ran the It’s a Wonderful Run 5k in Seneca Falls. I finished in 28:20, which is an ok time as this event is more of a party than a race.
The weather was very good for the race (and unseasonable warm for December), which actually left me a little disappointed that I was two minutes behind my time from last year. Perhaps running with a strand of Christmas lights around my neck made me less aerodynamic.
This was probably my last race of the year, hopefully I find something to run in January.
On Saturday I ran the It’s A Wonderful Run 5k in Bedford Falls Seneca Falls. This was my first time doing this Christmas themed run.
I completed the course in 25:42 which considering all the stops that were made to take shots of fireball is actually a pretty quick time. Given the crowds and the weather it probably would have been tricky to challenge my time from October, so this race turning into a drinking event was probably the right call.
This is almost certainly my last race of the year, and perhaps even the last race until St. Patrick’s Day.
