Ran the Silver Comet Trail 10K yesterday. I had hoped to get seeded for the time group 1A for the Peachtree Road Race on July 4th by running yesterday's race in under 50 minutes, but I didn't :~(  52:15 was my time. I don't know what happened. I was running consistent 8-minute splits all the way through mile 5 -- I was right at 40 at mile 5. But mile 6 must have been a 12-minute mile for me! WoW! I don't know what happened. I didn't feel like I slowed my pace but obviously I must have. Oh well, I'll be happy with time group 1B which I am currently qualified in from the Run the Reagan that will still put me WAY ahead of most of the 55 thousand runners that will be out on the 4th of July.

 

This was my first time running on the Silver Comet Trail. It is very nice. I quite enjoyed it. It was pretty warm for March -- about 60 or so at race time and quite humid. The humidity and BO hung in the air like an oppressive blanket all about me. I ran right over a snake -- if anything, THAT should have made me run faster!

 

I heard one runner talking about seeing a fox.
