Ok, so it\u2019s just a 10k, and our very local, 17th Annual race, starting at the high school my kids attended and that I pass every day to commute to NYC, but I still want to talk about this race. Because it\u2019s the first one I\u2019ve completed since <\/span>early May!<\/span><\/p>\n

Broke my collarbone the end of May; threw out my back in September (note to self: don\u2019t rush the kettlebell workout; respect the cannonball); tried to do an Olympic distance tri two weeks later but simply could not run.<\/p>\n

Back got better, trained up a bit, and I really had no idea how fast I could run – because of the disrupted season and a less than stellar half marathon in the spring and of course the passage of another year. \u201cGetting older,\u201d I think it\u2019s called.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So I do my warmup and strides, and I\u2019m at the starting line with LOTS of little kids in the front (visiting from another school where Ed Beglane is the principal, eager to do the 5k), with two of the Killer Bunny Runaways Team, guys who run <\/span>together three days a week. <\/p>\n

With Ned Towle and Amish Kapadia. Guess who doesn\u2019t like the team name?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And we start, and I can\u2019t help but laugh at all these kids!, a lot to dodge, and my buddy Dietmar plows ahead, short sleeves dark blue shirt and steady bounding until he\u2019s gone from sight (he takes 1st place for 40-49), and another guy Daniel in a lighter blue running jacket and baseball cap (he takes 2nd OA), and somewhere way ahead is a bright blue sweatshirt (turns out it\u2019s my local, annual nemesis,<\/span> James- with whom I\u2019ve swapped places on the age group podium every year)<\/span><\/p>\n

The day before, I ran one loop of the course, \u00a0and now that I\u2019m racing I\u2019m running a lot harder but it feels solid, panting but solid, and I\u2019m still smiling (which both Coach Debi and Juan had told me was good for running). I can\u2019t help but marvel at this little woman in bright orange zooming past me and I\u2019m in the middle of and ready for the long hill up Broadway until we turn left at the nursing home (get a shout out from Lisa and Greg) and glorious downhill to Tompkins, left and up up up, there’s Rory directing traffic, and those back roads by Dietmar\u2019s house aren\u2019t so bad the first time, and the .3 mile straightaway back to the school (I had measured it during yesterday\u2019s run).<\/p>\n

And the next loop of course is harder but for once I\u2019m not wishing<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>I could stop, this second loop<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>ain\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>so bad, up Broadway again and past Lisa and Greg again and it\u2019s hard work and even though I\u2019m not looking at my watch I know this not as fast as I\u2019ve been in the past. But this is The Best I Can Do Today, and truly accepting that is terrific.<\/span> The season of no-racing is over.<\/p>\n

Suddenly at Mile 4 1\/2 my left calf cramps up, and I had felt this at the end of the prior day\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>workout<\/span>, and if this were the beginning or middle of the race season I would stop to avoid compounding the injury, but NO, I\u2019ve been sidelined by injuries all season!, this is my last race and I am going to do the best I can, and I\u2019m hobbling through it, feels a lot slower but ends up being the same pace as the prior uphill mile, and some guy with a gray beard (my AG?) and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>wearing yet another shade of blue is running behind then beside me and I will NOT let him beat me, I want that podium more than he does (if I can\u2019t catch the bunny ahead of me I will run away from the monster behind me) and I find the juice to sprint harder, and I hear Rachel shout my name and I FINISH.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Results: 43:53 (but to be honest, it\u2019s really 5.9 Miles\/9.5 km; 17 years of the <\/span>same, short course; so it\u2019s 7:26 min\/mile avg.). 10\/64 overall. 3\/12 age group (meaning, 50-59); a tiny bronze medal, hurray!<\/span> I never even see <\/span>James Cochrane’s face until the race is over <\/span>– so, this year, he takes 1st in AG<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Glad to confirm that I can train at 9:00+ minute per mile, and still race at sub-7:30s. Not my fastest – actually, my slowest – but the fastest I could do today. Great to run through my<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>l\u2019il<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>town and see folks I\u2019ve known for years. A satisfying finish to <\/span>an interrupted season.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
