GW Parkway Classic 10-miler-1:21:45

Wow! I flew! I was struggling by my 5, thinking I'd started too fast, but then I made friends with a wonderful woman my age and we took off together until mile 9, when she went ahead and I slowed a little. I was reading the splits aloud from my watch, and a lady afterwards told me I kept her on pace. It was fun, and sharing it with other runners makes it sooo much easier. That first mile, all quiet in the hush of a sleepy wet parkway, except for the stomping of thousands of running feet, was very zen. I loved it. Also, so happy with my time. I ran my splits in under 8:13s.
