I decided to do the Blessing of the Fleet 10 mile road race at the last minute (well, a few days ago). I was scheduled for an hour run anyway and it is so much more fun to run with a group. And, boy was this a group! Over 2,600 runners raced last night. What fun! It was a really great course. The road was flat and there were thousands of folks cheering us on. There was a massive downpour at about mile 7. I loved it. It totally cooled me down and I ran faster. The only problem was that my socks and sneakers were heavy and squishy.
I did much better than anticipated. I’m not sure why.
I finished in 1 hour 19 minutes and 24 seconds for a 7:56 pace. I placed 603 out of 2695. And, I placed 25 out of 315 for women 40-49 years old.
Here are the results.
