Hilly, hilly 10K up in Columbia. Lots of climbs that never seemed to quite balance out with downhill stretches, although I’m sure that’s all just in my head. Ran this race with Stephanie (who warned us about the hills) and Ben, and had a great time. Cool start, which was good; kept up with Stephanie until around mile 3.5, at which point she got ahead of me on a massive hill and I never quite caught her.

Good finishing time for me, though. My last two (and fastest two) 10Ks were 52:30 back in 2008, and 54:02 in 2010. Considering I was at my fastest overall in 2008, only an extra minute in a half for a hilly hilly course? I’m very pleased. After a couple of lackluster finishes at races recently, I feel like I did a good job here. Probably could have kicked it a little faster near the end, but no complaints.

    1. Thanks! I got all excited about the idea of tackling the (only one hill, the rest is flat) Cap Classic 10K next month, but looking at my calendar I will either be out of town, or having a houseguest, or both. So perhaps not.
