East Beach Chesapeake Bay 10k
Went into Saturday’s 10k race feeling pretty good, which may explain the crazy pace I set off at in the first couple of miles. The warm up went well and despite a slightly delayed start, I managed to get off to a great start. The photo on the left (click for a larger view) is [...]

I started fairly conservatively with a 7:41 first mile and steadily got faster and faster for the remainder of the run: 7:02 6:54 6:51 [...]
