Butterfly Boogie

Oh what do I remember about my 2nd 10K? Not to much, mostly because my brain, eyes, and legs were FROZEN. The weather was overcast, cold, windy....did I say COLD.....38 degrees!

The course was well designed to ensure a negative split...uphill the first 3 miles and down hill the last! I finished in 1hour 3minutes.....not the greatest, but I did finish and ran the whole way.

Elizabeth and I started out cruising the first 3 at a 10.5 pace. Around mile 3 when I began thawing out I picked up the pace, mainly to get back to a heated environment as quickly as possible. The second half of the race followed the Katy trail. Surprisingly enough passing the bbq and burger joints, whose smells typically make my mouth water had the opposite effect on this particular morning.....I wanted to GAG!

All in all my time is on par with that of the Trinity River Levee run.....I'll take it...
