"Vivicittà" todayi. A 12k run through the city center, around the old city, along the lungomare and back up to the start. Thousands of people. I was with a friend and his group of dedicated long distance runners. My buddy averaged 4.30/km, one of his friends 4. It was overcast and a warm sirocco was blowing hard. I started fast, slowed down after 6k (the distance I train at), then was able to pour it on for the last 3k. I could have pushed harder I think if i hadn't lost my friend in the crowd at the start.
In the end was pleased with my non official time of 56:38. Avg pace 4:42.
