Annapolis 10 Miler - Run10 Mile

Had a beautiful morning for the race- some clouds, not too warm, and reasonable humidity.

I tried to hold back more in the beginning of the race after blowing up last year. It's hard to do that in the first 3 miles or so, because that's the flat/fast part of the race.. but I was generally able to keep the pace under control. I had a couple of painful moments in miles 8 and 9, and little kick for the end, but much better than last year overall.

The foot also felt OK, even without the NSAIDs this AM.. I felt a twinge and pulled up a little during the last half of the race, but it didn't significantly affect the run.

I ended up finishing within 1 second of my time at the Cherry Blossom 10-miler earlier this year, though that felt like a faster race for some reason.

Overall it was good to be racing again, and happy to have some more lined up this fall.

Very well run as always.. and a great finisher's shirt this year.
