Four easy miles along the Hudson River with the flight attendants so it was a fun easy morning.

10 miles at 5:55 pace in Central Park and two miles cool down with Roadrunners club. This one kicked my butt!

4 miles along the beach in San Diego early morning.  This is what running is about!  The sun is just comming up and everybody is out for their morning run.

 

8 miles north of Dallas, Tx at night.  Kind of a scary run, totally dark with no moon and a lot of bats!  But a great day of running!

Fun race!  I had decided to just take it easy today and have a good time with the run since it was a hilly run and I had no time to see the course.  I'm not a very good hill runner, just have not trained for them so I have no confidence when it comes to these kind of races.  I started out slow and after a mile or two I decided I better pick up the pace.  Walter and Ben were way out front.  It looked like they were half a mile ahead but it felt so good to just be tooling along and enjoying it.  When the downhill stretch came along at around two miles picked it up enough to catch up at least to Walter.  Then Bastard Hill came along, on the 10K it just kicked my butt, today it didn't seem that bad.  Maybe some of these runs have been paying off or maybe it's just not running the course after a marathon.  I thought someone would pass me for sure on the hills so I let it go each time I went down to at least keep some kind of a good pace up.  I wanted to run an average of 5:45 on this course but just settled for a 6:00 pace and just enjoyed the run.
