Sun, May. 12th, 2013 07:19 pm BSR 34 I've run any number of solid 5Ks, where I've been able to either even-split or negative-split the course - but let's face it, three miles ain't that much of a challenge in that respect. ( That's why I have to say this year's Broad Street Run was my best overall race:Collapse ) Tags: broad street run, races, running
