Congratulations on your first 10K!  I did this race last year and really liked it.  Then again that's where I always run so I knew most of the route. In fact I'm on my way there right now.    What is your restaurant?  Is it in Boca?  Maybe I'll see you at the FAU tri - I think I'm signing up for that one.

Yeah...that area is great for both biking a runing.  My coach has us meet 2 times a week at the Red reef Golf Park to do our run and bikes.  I knew the route only cause we do our bike through that neighborhood..even though it seems much shorter on a bike

 my restaurant is Set The Table

you can get directions and menu on my website www.setthetable.net  My specials menu chages daily.  And if you do the FAU race, I will be at the Gold Coast triathlete tent before/ after the race so we can maybe meet.

Have a great run tonight, it's gorgeous out!
