RUN FOR YOUR LIFE 10K
Well, I had a nice 10K run today in Portsmouth, Ohio. Thanks for pacing me, Amy! My right foot didn't bother me much and I was able to complete it wearing the fracture shoe the entire race. Several weeks back, I was thinking about trying for a sub-50 minute 10K. With a broken foot and this "viral illness", I knew that was an impossibility today. I did complete the 10K in 1:01:50, a modern-day record (meaning my times as teenager are excluded). It beat my previous best by two minutes.
Addendum: This race had a very nice dark grey technical shirt, which was surprising, given the twenty dollar registration fee. They must have had generous sponsors!

Wow, you did it with the fracture? Amazing. How's the foot now??
Truthfully, the viral upper respiratory infection bothered/hampered me more than my broken foot did. It made me feel weak and "unwell", my breathing was more labored than normal, and the antihistamine/decongestant I took dried me out and kept me awake the night before.
Fortunately, it was a relatively easy course, only two main hills as I recall. Neither were particularly treacherous. The day was beautiful, just slightly warmer than I'd prefer.
eh, given my current pace, I'm looking at 1:30-1:45 for my 10K time at the USAF Marathon, and I don't have a broken foot. I was never a runner as a teen...is that in my favor? :)
Lys,
Probably not ... go back to Mach and you'll see my first 10K (well, my first in 30 years) was 1:30.
Oops! Meant "March"
