It turned out to be a beautiful day for running today. The weather was nice and sunny but not too warm. The Groton Road Race was a pretty hilly course, the entire thing was rolling hills, but the people I talked to on the run were friendly.
I was second-guessing my decision to run in the first mile, but then my shins loosened up and I felt better. When I hit the water stop at the 2nd mile I walked a little but then picked the pace back up. When I hit the second half, I was in good spirits and running pretty fast. I finished the race with a sprint around the track, passing 3 people at the end. Its probably poor etiuquette to do that, but I didn't care, I just wanted to beat a few people.
I ran 6.2 miles today in about 1:04. I am waiting for the official results, but I feel really good about this race.
Update: Official time: 1:04:46, 10:26 pace.
