I'm always majorly impressed with people who can run such a long distance. I seem to be stuck at a mile or two. Walk some, run some more. I'm okay with that, though. :)
Army Ten Miler - This is the 6th time that I have run it!
Really, I don't think you could ask for a better day for a race. Quite a contrast from last year’s "hell race" which actually killed someone. My time this year definitely reflected the awesome weather, a very respectable 91 minutes (obviously a 9:10 pace... gotta love the easy math).
The crowds, the attitudes (everyone was in a pretty good mood), the course (such a pretty course) and even the weather all combined to make it a great morning for a run.
And really! The wounded soldiers making the run? It makes the heart break to see them injured but it also causes my heart to swell to see them come out and run. I know that I and most of the other runners would definitely give them a quick word of encouragement or cheer (I of course went with the ubiquitous, "hooah!").
Now I need to rest my aching body one more day and then it is back to the routine.
"Hooah!"

Congratulations! It was a beautiful day; I came out and cheered. The wounded soldiers definitely made me cheer louder.

Congrats on finishing the race. One of my goals for next year.
But, ahh, 91 minutes/10 miles = 9.1 minutes per mile, but that's 9 minutes and 6 seconds per mile.
Good job on the race.
