Hello All,
So I ran the MidTown Classic 10K today and it was beautiful weather! I ended up running with my team that is traveling to Vegas this December and it was a big success. I've never ran with other team members but it is such an uplifting experience to see your team members root you on and high five you as you run by.
I started strong and finished strong which is really important to me. I'm glad I ran a 10K because I needed to see how I manage this type of distance in a racing environment. I definitely need to improve my time around the third and fourth mile, because that is where I started wearing down a little bit. My ankle going into the race was a little sore...I believe I have a high ankle sprain so I'm trying to work through it. Hopefully a day of rest helps and I want to emphasize the importance of stretching... especially right after your run!!!
I finished the race in an hour and that's where I am looking to be right now. I know I can do better though and as the next couple of weeks progress I am going to try to knock off some time in my miles. The top male in this race did the 10K in a little over half my time. Crazy!
Not only did I get my run in for the day, but I had fun doing it. There was a kegs and eggs party after the race with a live band rocking out. My favorite tune they played..."Cleveland Rocks"
Check back for images from the race! And go out and run!
