It was in the low 40's an was drizzling earlier in the morning, but luckily it stopped and the sun even came out for a little bit. It was windy, mostly headwinds, and it got cold the last couple miles. I ran this race for fun so I did not push much at all. I had a good time seeing everyone and this year the race had 200 entries compared to last year's 49. Jeff won, as I knew he would, and Dan Bruner ran a 1:20 PR getting ready for a marathon in Alabama next month.

All those miles this week and then finish it off with a half marathon? Nice. When you say Jeff, you mean Shadley? Haven't seen his report yet.

It was great seeing you, you ran a solid race despite your "motivational" issues as we discussed at the starting line. I think we both really need to look hard at a "real" break.

Hmmm....maybe 3300 miles looks fine to me for 2009!

Great job my friend, keep the faith.

Bill,

Nice run today. Is this your last race for the year?

Good race Bill. The late season laid back races are always fun.

Pretty fast for not pushing, imo. Congratulations.
