Capital Pursuit, 10 Miler

What a way to start off the day— get up at the buttcrack of dawn and run 10 miles with a bunch of other crazy ass people who got up that early to do the same thing.
All in all, this was a prep for getting up that early and running for the marathon. Timewise, I did
pretty well–9 minute miles.
The whole race was “downhill”…in the loosest definition of the term downhill. Thank goodness it wasn’t REALLY a downhill race. About halfway through my hip started bugging me on the downward slopes. Go figure.
I had a fun time. Got to eat a bruegger’s bagel when I was done and met a few interesting people on the way… passed the two walk-joggers that had been sprinting past and stopping to walk the entire race….annoying. Seriously. One of the people was about 70 years old…so I’ll give him that. He finished. I won’t be running when I’m 70.
