NIA Jingle Bell Run 5K Nichols 

Warm-up: 3 easy miles
Warm-down: 1 easy mile

Finish time: 24:52

Mid morning race, high 30's, sunny & dry. 

Splits: 1) 7:43 
        2) 8:27 (Mile 1 marker was a bit off.)
        3) 7:56 
        F) 0:48 

According to a few runners around me at the 1 mile mark, the
mile marker was a bit off so my first split seemed fast and
the second correspondingly slow.

I ran this race back in 2010 in a time of 23:43.0, so a bit slower this
year but overall, age considered, a decent time.

The course has a good hill in the second mile which adds 10-20 seconds to the
overall time.

The field was pretty competitive so I was pleased to be 100/641, top 16%.

My immediate goal is to get my time down to 24:00 and eventually closer to 23:00.
