Your pace was "red" at the very end which looks to me like you had a great kick across the finish line. Nice job!

The new job has been busy and Jason moved in. Congrats, Lee, on your 160th town! Do you have an update on Mike? I hope he's okay. Jason and I ran the Apple Harvest Race yesterday. My goal was between 41 and 42 min. and my time was 40:50/8:09. However, the course measured 4.95, which is a bummer b/c it means I was over 41 min. I've run that course almost annually since 2007. Out of 14 years, I missed 2014, 2015, and 2017. The course has usually measured around 5 m or slightly over; the last 2 races were a bit short though. Jason ran just under a 9 min.mile, which is great considering he never runs anymore. LOL Of interest to note - I don't know her, never met her, but I've seen Diane Snow in the results since I've been running the race. She's 10 years older than me. She has beat me every year. Even the year I PR'd with a 37:55, she got a 37.52. So yesterday, for the first time in history, I beat her. My time again was 40:50 and hers was 41:52. A solid minute plus and 14 years in the making! LOL Week in Review: Mon. 6 m/9:45 Tues. GYM + 3 m on dreadmill Wed. 5 m/9:14 Thurs. GYM + rowing Fri.

Today's run was interesting. I tried running what felt like a half-marathon race pace for one full mile (from mile 3 to mile 4). I checked my watch at mile 4 and was a little surprised to see it read 9:07 per mile. Of course the question is could I sustain that for the average for 13.1. Hoooo knows. Not sure. Had to work at it for just a miles in the middle of today's 9. Weekly Summary: 10/4 - 10/10 27 miles I took another look at the 2019 Half results for BayState today.

Their AG rank is shown in the 2nd column. Their age is in the 6th column. Their PACE is in the last column. I'd be totally happy with 4th place, but feel like it might be 5th. We'll see! PS. The results are among a FULL list of 1,000 finishers. Column 1 shows the overall rank. lrb - Sunday, October 17, 2021 at 17:29:15 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/7673779138 Brent and Larry ran with me at Mikey's Place 5K in Wethersfield. The link below gives a very cool dynamic report of all three of us. https://track.rtrt.me/e/TLMR-MIKEYSPLACE-5K-2021#/tracker/RC6WF42B,RDAZU4WX,R5FJR23D I expect Chip will post the details but to summarize: He was 1st in 70+ at Baystate Half w/ a time of 2:00:04 (9:08 pace). In other words, he killed it. 247,1,HM7099,CHIP,BRADLEY,Ayer,MA,72,M,2374,,1:00:29.3,,1:59:33,0:09:08,2:00:04ceb - Sunday, October 17, 2021 at 20:11:21 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) ceb - Sunday, October 17, 2021 at 19:49:58 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) Thanks Lee for the cool 3-way report on today's Mikey's Place 5k in Wethersfield. Awesome we all ran today! Nice work to you as well!! I finally found those results you first found for my Half today. It was fun to sort the list to see where I fell in the smaller crowd of 586 runners. Wow, I got 1st this time. Not too bad a pace as well. I remember seeing "Alex." He looked pretty strong, but I dug a little deeper and tried to pass him at about 11 miles. It was a good race with only 2 minor hills. I was a little stiff after, but basically ok. There were no live awards and many runners were a bit thrown off by that -- as well as a rather minimal list of text message alerts to runner's friends, but hey -- we just came out of a pandemic (hopefully) and the kinks will probably get worked out over time. Ok, so now I must reveal a rather embarrassing oversight! I actually left the apartment this morning WITHOUT my Garmin! I opted to not drive home to get it since parking was filling up rapidly in Lowell No prob, I thought... I just asked other runners if they had time/pace info at the mile checkpoints and the mental calculations weren't too bad.

Both 5Ks (although the one in Stamford was short by a lot). The one this morning in Salisbury was an up and back down. It turns out the rise in elevation was "only" 500 feet (not 1000 which is what the promotional blurb said.) Over 70 runners, beautiful day, beautiful place. A large fraction of the runners were 169 members. This is town #162 for me. https://track.rtrt.me/e/TLMR-SALISBURY-BEAST-2021#/leaderboard/overall-5k/FINISH I ran with this gal most of the race.
