10k Race

[today’s run: 10k]

I was going to run with the running club today, and my wife was going to go watch our son run in a local 10k race.  That sounded kind of dumb for me to go one way and her another, so I signed up for the 10k also.

I haven’t run in a real race since the Mt Desert Island Marathon two years ago.  At least at today’s race I was able to keep running for the whole distance.  I did finish, eventually.  You’ll see by this picture of the results list that it was a small race, and I was in the caboose position.  But it was on a college campus, so weighted toward the younger age groups…  or something. [Looking over this list, I’m only missing a couple of the runners,  it looks like I was likely the oldest participant.]

And the second picture shows the top finishers.  #1 son came in 10th in his first 10k race.  That was pretty fantastic.
