3-30-08 Freehold, NJ 10 Miles in 59:37 (5:58 pace), 28th place overall out 640, 6th age group of 63. I have been running (off and on) since I was 15 years old, however believe it or not this was my first 10 mile race. So technically this would be a PR for me, however, when I was younger and set my 1/2 marathon PR (which was also the only 1/2 marathon I ran before turning 40) I went thru 10 miles in 59:20, so in my mind that is my real PR. However, this counts for my masters PR. All and all I was very pleased with the race, ran it more like a time-trial than a race. My splits where almost perfectly even 6:00 per mile splits for the first six to seven miles, picked up the pace a bit for the last 3 miles, however, not enough since several of the guys in the pack I was running with ended up finishing ahead of me. Next up is Boston!
