Providence Half

I ran the Cox Provience Half Marathon yesterday. The weather was almost perfect and the course was a pretty good loop, starting and finishing in downtown Providence, while working its way through Providence's East Side and part of Pawtucket. It was sort of fun to run on some of the streets that I had run on when I was in college.
I ran with Mike, who completely sand bagged me by telling me he'd stay with me as long as he could until I took off. Meanwhile, as I was stuck behind a human wall of people at mile 3, he went ahead of me and never looked back. H ended up having a great race and was able to finish strong and beat me by roughly 3 minutes. That being said, I ended up PRing which was great, beating my old best by over 3 minutes. All and all, it was a good race and I'll plan on being back next year (that is unless I decide to run with DFMC again next April....we''ll see).

Congrats To All

Congrats to those that completed the marathon yesterday, especially those that ran with Dana Farber. It was weird being on the sideline, after having participated last year. I missed it, and it made me want to be out there again, especially while I was watching in Framingham with family and friends. It was cool to see some familiar faces out there again.

That being said, we had a great time doing the BAA 5K on Sunday morning, and it was nice to be part of the weekend. I've been getting ready for the Cox Half Marathon in Providence that's in a few weeks, and I'm glad the decent weather is here (finally) and running is a little more enjoyable outside. Our little guy is even doing to make his racing "debut" in a few weeks in a road race back in my hometown which will be a lot of fun. He's taken an interest in running lately, which is really fun.

Rest up to those that ran yesterday, and maybe I'll bump into some of you out there this year.

Enjoy.
