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!

John, Great job at the Freehold race, you looked very strong. Looks like you have done the work and I think that you will get that sub 3 at Boston.
Good Luck, Rocco
Thanks Rocco, great job to you too.
I would have to say the Freehold race was one of the more enjoyable/fun races I have done lately (if a race can be enjoyable amidst all of the pain and suffering?!?), since we had the pack of SF guys running together for a majority of the time. It felt really like being on a team and working together. See you at the races -John
