Another holiday…. another race… and another PR! This year I participated in the 10K Revolutionary Run in Washington Crossing, PA on the 4th of July. It was a challenging day due to the weather conditions – about 74 degrees and humid at race time (8:30am). I definitely took advantage of all of the water and Gatorade stations to keep myself hydrated and managed to achieve a new PR for a 10K: 52:36. That's an 8:28 minute mile so I was very pleased to be able to come in under 8:30 (just by a nose hair!). Overall, I placed 222nd out of 599 runners. And, I placed 43rd out of 94 runners in my age group (50-59).
Next up is the Chicago Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon on July 22nd!
Safe Running Folks!
