Surf-n-Santa 10 Miler - Run10 Mile

Paula and I really only signed up for this race because we could use this as a training run, and get really good prizes for doing our long run. Started in the 4th corrall and just wanted to relax on this "training" run. Our plan was to do a 2mile run/1 min walk, but when I got to the 2 mile marker I was feeling so good that we kept going. Paula is a much better runner than I am so she would do whatever I felt like I needed to do. Finally when I got to mile 4 had to walk through the water stop. Enjoyed reading all the little jokes along the way. Started to get tired at mile 7 and then the ankles started to "talk" to me. Only took 3 walk breaks.

Nothing because this was just a long training run and we set out to have fun!!

Only thing about this race that I didn't like was the post race food. They only gave you a bag of pretzels, piece of a banana,power bar, and some beer. The only water was what they put in the metal drinking water bottle that they gave us. Wasn't to keen on drinking it when I didn't put it in the bottle myself.
