This won’t be much of a race report, since nothing startling happened. The weather was absolutely perfect for running. I ran a pretty steady pace, slightly faster than my training.
Mile 1 – 8:10
Mile 2 – 8:19
Mile 3 – 8:12
.1 – 1:04 (?)
The course might have been a little long, but no worries. Official results were:
Finish – 25:45
72nd of 894
8th of 48 in 50-59 age group
The post-race spread was awesome – beer, soft tacos, every kind of fruit and baked good, and hot coffee. My favorite was the jalapeño bagels. As a No Boundaries participant, I even got a medal. For a 5k!
So while I’m still waaaaaay off my peak form, I’m officially back to normal running, instead of rehabilitation. The Next Steps program starts right away – Tuesday night – and culminates in a 10k on Thanksgiving Day. I guess a good goal for that would be sub-50.
