Big Island Road Runners Labor Day 5K/10K

Today I formally began training for the Sacramento Marathon. I'm using Hal Higdon's website and doing the advanced II schedule. Starting late of course so I jumped ahead to week 8.

Since today was supposed to be a 3 mile run it was very convenient that the Big Island Road Runners were holding their 5K/10K road races today. 5K is just barely more than 3 miles so I ran that race. I'm not sure of my exact time (I'll post it once I get race results), but it was somewhere around 19:20-19:30 for 5K. I came in somewhere around 10th overall and might have even been the first finisher in my age group. Once I have official results I will modify this post.

Assuming for the moment that I ran the race in 19:20 then I was able to do 6:22:53/mile. Which makes me pretty happy. :)
