Yet another run at Mendon Ponds

Apparently all I run these days are short trail races, because on wednesday night I ran the Dirt Cheap trail race at Mendon Ponds park. I ran the course in 36:09 which is roughly a 9:30 pace for the 3.75 mile course. With all of the hills and mud, I am happy with that result.

At the start of the race I was a little unsteady, but fell into a good pace once the course started hitting the single track trails. The course had a lot of hills where I felt strong, but didn’t have much of an opportunity to increase the pace.

This will probably be my only race in August, but I hope to run more often in September.
