Monday, July 4th - I Run for the Party 10k

My first run since Thursday - several excuses, but not listing them. My GPS had signal problems since I was surrounded by tall buildings and there were cloudy skies. My GPS had me running 6.8 miles in about an 8:32 pace. I knew it wasn't that fast, but I was really disappointed to see my total time of 58:01 for a pace of 9:22. I was hoping 9:00 or under. The hills got me. Cousin Todd and I were pretty much together until one hill almost stopped me in my tracks. He pulled 30 to 40 yards ahead. It stayed that way until the second time we had to climb that hill and he doubled the distance between us. He finished in 57:14 (9:14 pace).

I was 154 out of 362 finishers. The 98th male. The 11th out of 18 males in the 40-44 age group.
