Cap 10K w/ Katie
Katie and I signed up for the Cap 10K a week or so ago. This was kinda late. I waited until the last minute to make sure that she would be healthy to do it with me. We signed up for the untimed race which means we start way way back at the end of the pack. This is no small race, there are over 18,000 people involved. So on Friday Katie picked up our race packets with T-shirts and our green bib numbers. The race was this morning. It was overcast, misting and the temperature was about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. We arrived early, paid money to park in a nearby lot and stayed in the car until 20 minutes before the start. Our plan was to run-walk it together – joined at the hip. We pressed our timers as we crossed the start line and began our first cycle of walking. After 3 minutes we pressed our timers and ran for 1:30. We continue this for the entire race. There were times when Katie (who became more and more quiet during the run portions) began to say that she wouldn’t be able to run, but with minor encouragement she labored on. We completed 3 miles in 41 minutes which was when I began to say that if we kept this up she could get a personal record (PR). Her last 10K was the IBM Uptown 10K at 1:31:20 where we ran 3 minutes and walked 1 minute. Well from mile 3 to mile 6 we kept missing the mileage markers (or maybe someone took them down!?). We began to worry that we wouldn’t beat it. But it was on the bridge at mile 6 with the end in sight that we realized that she would again PR easily. She completed in 1:23:55. Very nice! It was great to celebrate her accomplishment with water, bananas, potato chips, and a hot shower when we arrived home.

New Shoes
I had bought two pairs of size 8 Nike running shoes a few months ago. My normal size is 8.5, but the price was right – half price. So I’m starting to use one of the pairs – the blue ones. The other pair is gawdy yellow. Anyways, I’ve got over 400 miles on the current pair, so it’s time to retire the old ones.
