I just got back from packet pick-up for Des News. Let me just say that I'm not happy with how this race has evolved over the past few years. Someday I'm going to write a long post on the types of races I like to run and the types of races I don't like to run. I ran my first road race in 1978, so I feel qualified to comment.

I just looked over my race report for the 2010 10k. I went out in 5:03!

Absolutely Allie. I miss Bob and Sam and their personal touch.

Short version Jon. Any race run by a "road racing corporation" sucks.
