Yesterday was the first fun run of the BLS season. Overall I rate my personal status review as positive - for the most part I was able to run comfortably and finished under the 30 minute mark. But I did skip the big, long hill at the start of the run -- I think their route is not well designed to a big hill just as the run starts and tire people out, and kill their pace times. And for the other hills I did walk the uphills - which I'm fine with, especially at this early start to the season. As always, I wish I was faster.
One area for improvement is my running clothing - I need to look into a running jacket that wicks the sweat but still helps to keep me warm on these early season (or late season) runs. I expect most of these jackets will be more expensive than I want to pay - so I'll be keeping my eye out for coupon and discounts. I also have high personal standards for jackets (and bags) features. I want a jacket with multiple pockets with zippers and an inside security pocket. I'd like it to have a hood that can be rolled up into the collar. I want it to have some reflective piping or other night safety features.
