The B2B is done!

I had to wake up at 3:45 am........it's my nephews birthday today (Happy 12th birthday Nick!) and I woke up early to call him in Canada.  When I called to wish him a happy birthday he wasn't there (I had to settle for a facebook message later in the day).  I was out of the house by 4:10 am and off to pick up AM in front of his building.  I munched on some orange slices while waiting for him and after a few minutes it was off to get our next friend BS and get to the start line.  We met up with MA and NM and got ready for the 10k race.  I had 1 goal for this years run (2 if you add I also wanted to finish the race) and that was to beat my time last year.  I ran it last year in one hour and nine minutes.  The run got off to a rocky start when my shoe lace came undone before the first kilometer.  So I made it over to the side of the Gateway bridge making sure I didn't impede anyone else (mission accomplished) and I was off running again.  Last year I took a walking break at the 5k mark......not this year.....I hit the 5k and kept going.....past the 6k, the 7k and ran past the 8k....then I got to the hill.  The hill is a steep incline around the 8k mark.  The hill beat me this year.  That is the last time.  Next year I will run the 10k without stopping.

I finished the 10k in 1:03 which is 6 minutes quicker then last year!  Very excited about that.  Now I just have the 15k run on September 30th.
