Ted Corbitt 15K - 12/19/09

Last race of the season - great year for me
Not looking for a PR but wanted to run hard leading up to the beginning of training for the NJ Marathon in May and I wanted to make sure that I am in a good place
First race since Philly Half a month ago
This was a strong race for me and a good time - I got a huge PR in the 15K distance in March 2009 and I knew in the cold weather and lesser training that I was not going to go after it. But this would have been my best time by almost a minute if not for my time earlier this year. I think this shows how much my times have improved. This was just such a strong year for me and one that involved enormous improvement for me for distances ranging from 4 miles to the half marathon. The next distance to tackle is the marathon. Training starts next week.

Mile 1- 7:49
Mile 2- 7:23
Mile 3- 7:27
Mile 4- 7:36
Mile 5- 7:30
Mile 6- 7:42
Mile 7- 7:13
Mile 8- 7:19
Last 1.3 miles - 9:15 (pace of 7:07)

Overall time: 1:09:18; Overall pace: 7:27
