Segment 1: 10 miles

I just finished segment 1 which stretches from downtown Concord to Allenstown. My friend, Liz, and I decided to park the car 9 miles out because I wanted to have less to do on day 2. We ended up parking 9.3 miles away and then ran through a development to make it an even 10. We got back and she immediately went to run a 5K race that had been scheduled. That's hard core.

When we started, it was 32 degrees and quite cold. I decided to wear a long sleeve shirt and shorts. Good move on my part. My legs were cold initially but I warmed up quickly. This afternoon will be up in the 50s, so it'll be short-sleeve shirt weather.

It was a rather hilly 10 miles, but we ran it well and didn't go much above 8:30/mile with the exception of the beginning. Though we finished at 1:30 for 10 miles, so I guess we were exactly at 9 minute miles.

1 down, 5 to go.
