Chip Time: 1:10:13 Miles: 10
It was a cloudy rainy morning... although it poured on the way to the race, the rain let it up by the start and by the time I finished, the rain down poured again.
I Felt good for the first 4 miles, then we round city hall down Broad Street, its here my mind starts to lose interest. I was in front of Chris til about mile 4, and he kicked it in gear... I kept him in sight then fell back around mile 5. I had caught up with Tony early in the race, and then we tethered back and forth. Its good to have friendly familiar faces around when you are out there with 20 thousand runners!
Passing the Kimmel center, I get kinda bored and tend to slow thngs down. I search out the CVS in South Philly and finally get a little life back in me to kick it a bit harder.
Chris and I pre rode the Eagleman course the day before this race (56 miles)....my legs were screaming at me after that ride. I wasnt sure what I was capable of doing here at Broad Street. But I ran a 7min mile and was happy to be done.
