I’ve been waiting since April for great race weather like I had for this race!   A cool, cloudy morning and a great day for a race meant a great run on a new route through downtown that I really liked.

About 700 people showed up for this race which started and ended at Victory field and raced through the southern portion of downtown.  I love racing down Meridian Street, not stopping for any lights and enjoying the city in this totally unique way.  It’s a great rush that helps to push through the tough spots of the race.

After this race I’m certainly sure that I’m just at the beginning of my training for the half this November and have quite a bit of work to do to get to where I need to be, but it was a great early training run and a good sign of things to come.
