This was so fun! I intended to start the first half of the run at 8:30/mile pace, but I got excited in the first mile and decided to try to hold a faster pace. I fueled this run with gummy worms, Nuun, and my "Girlboss" Spotify playlist. The weather was 40s and cloudy, which was ideal for me. Other than having to immediately adjust my vest upon starting and dropping my phone 0.5 miles in and having to go back for it, this run went smoothly. Since there was no female FKT, my goal was to beat the men's time. Thank goodness I did, as a severe thunderstorm hit about 20 minutes after I finished! I only saw a few cyclists and runners, including one man running with a double stroller (much more impressive than my run!). I didn't really do much training for this, so I'm sure another person in better shape and with better training will crush this FKT.
