10km Final run of 2008

Decided to make this my final run of 2008 - so i was determined for it to be 10km, which is the furthest that i am running at the moment.

I haven't been feeling too good the last few days, so I was not interested in a quick time, just in getting round.

It was very cold and I was glad the Garmin found the satellite quite quickly. As i started I checked the time and was under 9.00, so I slowed down to 9.00 pace and tried to stay as near to that as I could.

The run felt uncomfortable, difficult, slow, long and cold.

However, in the end I finished off with a 56 minutes 23 seconds which is just over 9.00 pace. So i was pleased with that.

Splits
1 - 9.05
2 - 9.17
3 - 9.18
4 - 9.14
5 - 9.06
6 - 8.57

So that is it for 2008. Hoping to keep going in 2009, although the thought of running in cold weather does not inspire me at all!
