I got Mom, Hollie, Mike, and Matthew to the airport this
morning by 6:30a and rushed home to make final preparations for the start of
the Live Ultimate Run. And thus, after a
long hiatus, I made a triumphant return to the road race circuit.
This race was challenging for two reasons: I didn’t get a
full night sleep and, Ali and I took the family on the official Mills
in the Hills Napa Valley excursion yesterday! Today’s endeavor was a 10k race. Under other conditions, I might aim to finish
under 50 minutes but not today, my friends, not today. Instead, I set a more modest goal of 1
hour. Good thing I did too! My official
race time was 59:52.9.
Overall, I enjoyed the race.
Anytime there’s a flat course, a good time, a medal, and a cool
t-shirt…the race is sure to get high marks in my book.
