Running - Broad Street Run 2010

I just realized that I haven't blogged yet in November, even though tons of things have been happening. I've been working on a set of copper wind chimes for the front yard, and was going to post a picture as soon as they went up, but I had a small design problem that I'm re-working.

In the meantime, for my post-biking-season-activity for the 2009 - 2010 winter, I have decided to see if I can 'train' for the Philadelphia Broad Street Run, which is held on May 2, 2010. It's 10 miles down Broad Street, which they clear of cars and traffic. Not sure how they manage it, because cars park in the middle of the street and in the bike lanes in S. Philadelphia. I think of it as "Broad Street - Naked".

So, that's my goal. I started in September, and am now up to 5 miles per run. Two miles with no stopping, a small walk (15 paces), then the last 3 miles without stopping. The best place to run is in the street, in neighborhoods with small hills.
Current time for this little shuffle is 58 minutes.... The max allowed time for the real run is 150 minutes.

Goal for November - run the whole 5 miles without stopping.
Here's a picture of my shoes - Mizumo Wave 5 with a Nike+ in the pocket.
