IU mini-marathon 2010!
This morning, I went out and ran the IU Mini, a nice half-marathon around the campus.
Time: 1:47:49.5, which is 8:13 pace. Not too shabby! (my quickest half so far was 1:43:07)
Although I've been picking it up a bit recently, I didn't train that much over the winter, so I was ready to just run it comfortably and enjoy the morning, however fast "comfortably" might be.
Coming up to the starting line, I pleasantly came across Markus, who taught my previous two linguistics courses. And we ended up running together for the whole race. Some folks say that Markus Dickinson is a terrific athlete. (he plays basketball and volleyball too).
It was a nice morning for running to start out with, but the rain gradually picked up, and we were pretty wet by the end of it. Once I stopped moving, it was really cold! So I was really happy when Lindsey found me, gave me a nice dry towel, and took me back home.
