Monument Avenue 10K

The Monument Avenue 10K was held on Saturday. The weather was far warmer than it has been, so there were lots of people with hydration issues. For me, the training at the YMCA paid off. I cut 6 1/2 minutes off from last year's time (and I trained for last year), so was pleased. My time was 1:14:13 and last year was 1:20:49 (that's 6:36 faster). It was, however, punishment of my body.

As of Monday, the only thing that still bothered me was my knees. I think it was the uneven streets. They are a bit different from the nice, cushy treadmill!

Note to self: Next year train outside for a while!
