Elizabeth River Run 10k
Not my most even-paced race, but a solid effort all the same. Plan going into the 10k was to average 6:00 minute miles if at all possible. I started off a bit quick, but was able to hold on for a 37:24 finish time on the slightly “long” course and just about meet my pre-race [...]
Elizabeth River Run 10k
Thoroughly enjoyed the Elizabeth River Run earlier today. For the record, I finished 12th overall in 36:40 and comfortably won the 40-44 age group.

Fort Eustis 10k
Quick post to record yesterday’s Fort Eustis 10k at Newport News, Virginia. The one and only time I ran this race was back in 2006 where I finished in 2nd place with a time of 37:41. This year, after recently missing almost a week of training due to sickness, I wasn’t really sure what to [...]
Army/Navy 10k
Ran the Army/Navy 10k this morning on Fort Story Army Base. Wasn’t expecting a fast race as I’m really still in post Richmond Marathon recovery mode, but as usual I was up for the race and willing to give my all. We set off fast in the first mile but I was surprised by the [...]
2008 Turkey Trot 10k
Not expecting much at tomorrow’s race, but I’m sure it will be fun and a good chance to catch up with local running friends I haven’t seen for a while. For the record, here are my 6 Turkey Trot 10k results going back to 1999. Incidentally, my all time 10k PR is the 36:32 set [...]
