Went down to Mass maritime for a career fair on Thursday. I had wanted to hit the track in Charlestown but the fair was an hour earlier than I thought, the weather was lousy so I figured I'd just get down to the south shore and try and squeeze in a run. Got down there fairly quickly and figured I had time for an easy 10 miler. I parked at the railroad bridge by the canal, it was misting and raw. I immediately noticed a mile marker on the canal path and started my watch, after the first two mile jog I decided to try and even split the first five miles out and then negative split the second half on the way back. Markers are posted every 1/2 mile, I found that feedback really helpful. The workout went great and was a pretty good confidence builder. Maybe it was the new Brooks Ghosts I bought yesterday, the training, the well marked trail or more likely the slight downhill and tailwind on the wayback-But I'll take it. Splits as follows:
1-7:57 ___________6-7:36
2-8:01 ___________7-7:15
3-7:58 ___________8-7:01
4-8:02 ___________9-6:48
5-8:01 ___________10-6:25
1-7:57 ___________6-7:36
2-8:01 ___________7-7:15
3-7:58 ___________8-7:01
4-8:02 ___________9-6:48
5-8:01 ___________10-6:25
