AK Run for Women

2011 time 1:03:14     place 1163     12:39 average mile
2012 time 57:52       place 1075     11:35 average mile

I was all smiles when I ran under the finish arch and my time was under an hour.  My first two miles were just over 11 minute miles.  And the remaining miles were just over 12 minute miles.  I had no idea I could run that fast.  I knew I had been running faster than I'd ever run before, but this.. this was a very pleasant surprise.  I'm not great at timing myself when I'm running out here in the village.   I definitely pushed myself during the race, and abhor running on concrete and pavement but felt really good throughout.  The next day was another story though.  And it was completely worth it.  :)
