Franklin Classic 10K

This morning's Franklin Classic 10K went well. Although I didn't win or even place in my age group, I'm pleased with my results.

Run (I’m pretty sure the mile markers were a bit off, because although I split at every one, some on my Garmin are over or under a mile:

• Totals: 53:08 (race time: 46:36; PR); 6.17 miles; 8:36 pace; 752 calories; 159 HR; 198 max HR
• Warm up: 11:43; 0.67 miles; 17:34 pace; 91 HR
• Mile 1: Unfortunately, I missed most of the first mile. But I hit mile 2 at 14:50 on the clock, so subtracting would make this mile about 7:10.
• Mile 2: 7:30; 7:22 pace; 178 HR; 5:39 best pace
• Mile 3: 8:04; 7:41 pace; 180 HR; 6:49 best pace

• Mile 6.2: 8:59; 7:22 pace; 194 HR; 5:34 best pace

I spent most of the afternoon at Farkases' (after working a little at MFY), playing games with Lauren and making dessert.

All the necessary ingredients...and the chef

We played some speed, ate grilled steak for dinner, worked on my wheel, and then watched Wipeout with Marables while eating banana pudding and Publix ice cream. Mmmmm!

Lauren making the pudding look presentable
