Sat, 9/9-On this beautiful late summer
morning, I ran the 9/11 Heroes Run 5K in Bridgewater this morning. Having
had a long but great time last night (rich food, deep drinks, etc.),
I wasn't sure I was going to compete today. I woke
up groggily, but then decided to compete after I felt better. I
arrived early enough for a thorough warmup. In fact, I ran the three
miles of the course as warmup, at a slower pace, of course. The course
was all road and featured a couple of gradual hills, nothing really arduous.
I believe I ran a very even race, winning my age group and placing sixth
overall in a field of a couple of hundred people. Even though the
announcer said 18:43, the unofficial time listed on the website was 18:54 (6:05
pace). This mark, if accurate, is passable for now, particularly
since the course was long at 3.17M (5:58 pace).
After the race, I bumped into Charles (Chip) Chavalier, who wound up placing second in our age group. We were called to the stage and accepted our medals together, as well as enjoyed a photo opp.
Fri, 9/8-took off
Thurs, 9/7-Ran 7M at 6:00 AM in 54:15, or 7:45 per mile pace.
Wed, 9/6-ran about 4M at 6:15AM in the pouring rain.
