36 minutes is a great time! Congrats! Love my Forerunner 10 - used it at my race today and it was accurate.
Yes - that is correct. However, some people just flat out don't adhere to that. I've also noticed a shift in etiquett in something else at more and more races - interval runners on the outside and "straight" runners down the middle. More and more, I am seeing faster runners darting to the outside to get around everyone else. That makes it harder for those of us who take walk breaks to safely get over and keep others safe while we are walking.
Had a great Gobble Jog 10K today! While not a PR, I did a lot better than I thought I would. My training has not been that disciplined and my shin has been REALLY sore - to the point that I was worried about a stress fracture. Turns out, I had a great run and came in at 1:01:23. The weather was beautiful and the shin didn't hurt during the run or even now. This is the 2nd time I've run this one and my favorite spectators were out again - an older couple who sit on their front porch. The man plays the tuba and the woman yells "CHARGE"! It's a hoot.
