11/4/06: 6.2 Mile Run: Vulcan Run

I arrived early at 6:45 am to get my packet for the 2006 Vulcan Run. It was cold this morning, 35°according to a readout on a bank's sign as I was driving downtown. So, I wore tights and was ready with long sleeves if needed. Sue, a woman that Judy and see from time to time that lives in Judy's neighborhood was one of the volunteers. It was good to see her and say hi since it had been awhile. Judy showed up at about 15 till 8:00; the race started at 8:00.

I clearly drank too much coffee and water. Despite have visited the men's room twice in the last half-hour before the race, I had to stop within the first mile and relieve myself again. That was the last time I saw Judy. So, I ran the race alone and without a MP3 player. Dang! When alone, I really like the MP3 player. It was in the car.

But, it was a good race. I ran my fastest pace this week. Judy ran faster. But, I didn't want to push it since I am doing a 13 miler tomorrow.
