Well today was my 3rd running of the Adam Heart Runs 10-miler. It was also my slowest but considering my poor training this year I'm happy with it. I've really fallen off since October between work demands, etc.

The weather was perfect. No wind cold (upper 30s).

I started out "easy" with the only goal of hitting sub-7. Which I somehow managed.

Now to see how the marathon next weekend goes with the poor training and work stress.

5th overall, 1st in age group! I also got to meet the "Adam" the race is named after.

Unfortunately, then had to go strait to work that is just finishin up now (Mon 1AM...).

Keep on running...
