15K Snowball Series Run

First run of the Snowball Series, this one ran in Queeny Park. Didn't see any FFRC members to run with so just ran on my own. Course had some very hilly stretches, 2 loops plus a little more, so the second loop I knew what to expect with the hills. I mostly took walk breaks up the hills, didn't want to push it too much with a 16 miler planned for tomorrow. Was cold, but not very windy - though the wind did pick up near the end. 9.32 miles in 1:34:48, 10:10 average pace, splits of 10:16, 10:16, 9:53, 10:27, 10:02, 10:25, 9:45, 10:19, 10:06 and 10:14 pace for the final bit. Average heart rate was 165, so I was pushing it a little more than I should have been, but it felt OK overall. Nice shirt and decent pants with the Snowball Series, should be fun.
