Back to Running Surf City 10 Miler


This was my goal race for the season.  I haven't been running as well as I once did before 2020, but I made an effort to be more consistent over the past 6-8 months.  Everything played out as well as I had hope on this cool Sunday.  I parked with about an hour before start time.  I paced with the 7:30 min/mile group.  While the first 5 miles felt fairly good.  I began to struggle during miles 6-7 at that pace.  I'm grateful to have been able to stay physically and mentally strong to hang onto the pacer until the end.  The only regret was that I wasn't strong enough to speed up at the end.  I'll take a week easy and enjoy some ice-cream, and plan to refocus the following week.  From 9/15/2024
