This weekend was our annual Bloomsday Run. It's a 12k or 7.46 mile race. I've been doing it since I was 7. I missed a few years, but I've done more of them than I've missed.
The course has changed over the years based upon changes in our city or to make it easier for the runners. This year I wore a pedometer to see exactly how many steps I took. From my car, through the race and back to my car was 20,236 steps. That's just over 10 miles.
My official time was 1:44:10. That's about a 14 minute mile. For someone who is carrying extra weight and did no training, I'm glad with this time. I just wanted to do it in under 2 hours and to shave over 15 minutes off that, is more than I hoped.
Next year maybe I can shave another 15 minutes off my time!
