My Journey Through Rehab

I had the Great Cow Harbor 10k today. I was looking to finish in less than 52 but really wanted to break 50 minutes. I finished in 49.17 @ a 7:56 pace. My watch had me 6.31 miles and a 7:51 pace but it’s probably because I always stayed to the outside to avoid the crowds. I feel really good about coming in under the 8 minute pace for that long. I forgot how many hills were on this course. We were either going uphill or downhill the whole time. Running up  a 1/2 mile hill is no fun. It’s not great going down that far either but you do make up some time. They had 5,000 people register and as of now I came in 912. There are only 4400 people’s time on the results page though. The race times are staggered every minute supposedly by how long it will take you to finish but there are alot of people who want to go first so your still trying to pass all these people.  No real complaints though it was a beautiful day for a run, about 55 to 60 degrees. At the finish line they had a band and all different companies giving away free stuff. Good way to end a run. A few hours later I threw a bi and tri workout in as well. Good day.
