Won entry from ryr pace grouo on facebook. Not prepared to race since only four ten milers since sgm and no sw but one mile fast last week for over a month. I decided to hang with 1:35 pacer. Good to hear them breathing hard.....i was not so much. It was cold and i only warmed up 0.7 miles easy with 15 second pickuos to 715 pace. After mile six i did a few miles at 7:04 to 7:10 and ended up a minute ahead of pacers. I passed four women and four or five guys. I took one gu..caffeine free of course at mile five. Should have livened my frozen muscles up with my second one at mile 10 but decided i was doing well enough. No women in sight in front. The course is technical in several spots, twisting and turning and some rolling hills. More hills were at the last three miles...up. i had that feeling in your legs u get when u froze and they become unresponsive. No push so i jogged it in at 7:15 pace and cheered the two guys just in front of me to sprint. I had no idea i was second overall. Cool. My time listed in results is gun so i posted my chip. If uare top three u have to go by gun. So 1:33:52 but really 1:33:46. Loved Thanksgiving dinner at my house with family. Played some games and watched some studio c with my kids.

Julie. You are awesome. So, Manchester flights huh? I need to look into this--you are for sure renting a car and can pick me up? Well, I could rent a car too and you could navigate lol. We can make this Boston thing work, the economy package. :)
