I signed up for the 10 miler. My longest race to date is a 5 miler, so it'll be interesting how this goes. I'm going to have to make sure I go out slow enough.
Hope to see some of you there.
PS: They have the Alex Milotis 5k at the same time if you want a shorter race. I ran that last year and it almost killed me.
Beware of the Swamp
I like this race a lot, but probably won't be running it this year. I registered for Run For All Ages this morning, which is on Saturday. The Larry Robinson is a well supported race, and might be the world's only 10 miler with a clock at each mile. I've heard that the sponsors are cutting back, and this will probably be the last running (at least as a yearly event, it might be run on a limited basis).
I doubt I will be running a Sunday race, but if I do it will probably be the Team Micky Ward 5k from Molly Kay's in Lowell. The Robinson is at a high school = no beer, Molly Kay's = tasty beers.
Have fun with your first 10 miler Tom, looking forward to the report.
Absolutely, way to rock it Tom.

Just awesome.
Thanks guys! I was happy with the result considering I planned on a 7:15 pace. Felt pretty good, could have ran the 1st half of the race a little bit faster, but I got to pass about 20 people in the second half of the race, so that was kinda fun.
Now I need to find a half to sign up for!
EJ - Nice time in Run for all Ages. Good pictures too!
