I am visiting Raleigh, NC and went for a run at Shelley Lake Park today. There is a trail going around the lake that is clearly for runners and bikers, not for cars, but they have signs up saying that the speed limit of 10 mph. Has anyone run there and seen it? If there were authority figures around and saw you running at faster than 6:00 a mile, would you be ticketed? I have never seen anything like that before and thought it was weird.
You are kidding of course? Is this your way of saying you are a real stud and can easily run faster than 6 minutes per?
I live in Raleigh and occasionally run at Shelley Lake. The loop is 2.08 miles. My record for one loop, with a 3 mile warmup from my house, is 13:45, so I don't think that I would have broken the speed limit.
Just remember to obey the police if they ask you to stop. You are required by law to obey the police. Even if you don't like whitey tellin' you what to do, obey the police. Even if you weren't able to ditch the crack pipe, obey the police. Even if those warrants out on you for failin' to pay child support are going to jam you up, obey the police.
I was probably going about 8:30 pace, so I was not threatening the speed limit. You must realize that real people, not just super studs, do occasionally run at faster than 6:00 pace. I was just asking hypothetically.

It is actually 2.25 miles.....so your 13:45 was close to the limit!
