Ran a 10k at Reeds Lake in Grand Rapids Michigan with my brother in law today. I'm pleased with my time, given the fact that I've only run a couple handfull of times over the last 8 weeks. I've definitely lost a considerable amount of fitness, but its coming back. The day wasn't terribly hot, but very humid. I was drenched within the first mile. Chris, my brother in law, went out a bit faster than I did and picked up a 30 second lead by mile 2. I began to slowly reel him in though and caught somewhere before the 5 mile marker. From this point in I slowed my pace a bit and ran it in with him. Splits were as follows:

1 - 6:35

2 - 6:46

3 - 6:57

4 - 6:59

5 - 6:52

6.2 - 8:19 (6:55s)

2 mile warm up in Nike Vomero - 63.3

Race and 1 mile warm down in Asics Gel Speedstars - 43

Jeff nice job on the 10K. Not bad at all considering everything you've dealt with the last few weeks. You are definitely on the comeback path with many good things yet to come I believe.
