It was 50 degrees and drizzling off and on this morning. Very Humid. I ran over to Barry's house and we ran the 4.1 miles down to the race start. I decided a couple days ago that I wanted to run this 10K with Kory so I found him at the start. We started out nice and slow and picked up the pace a bit every mile. Once Kory got warmed-up his form went from an uneven stride favoring his leg to his old, smooth stride. By the time we were running up 2nd Ave on the last mile and a half he was looking great.....and pulling away from me! Our splits were 7:45, 7:38, 7:20, 7:23 (uphill), 6:41, and 6:43. He beat me by 10 seconds over the last .7 miles and was looking good doing it. I could tell he was enjoying it as well and that was awesome. It is good to see him run again. We talked to a few people for a few minutes and got a drink and then I ran 3 miles with him back to his car. Then I ran the rest of the way home with an extra loop just so I could break 100 again this week.
