Total Image 10 Mile Race

 I ran a 10 mile Race in Manchester, NH today, the Total Image Running 10 Miler. The event also included a 10K race and a relay. The official charity for the race was For The Love of Dog, so running with dogs was allowed, which a good number of runners did.

The course was an out-and-back along a rail trail and, although it was relatively flat, it was harder than it looked. The out section was a long, gradual grade. Not all that steep but it rarely let up. Of course coming back we got the benefit of the slight downhill, but the non-stop grade on the first half did a job on the quads. I had a nice race in any case, running an 8:31 pace, which is about what I expected. It's hard to expect more when I'm not even running 20 miles/week. With the arthritis, I'm just happy to be running at all.
