I finished today’s Broad Street Run, my first organized race ever.
I finished then 10 miles in more than 90 minutes. Not exactly lightning quick, but good for, of course, quicker than 10 minute miles over the run.
It is a great experience to be running along the damn -near straight and flat Broad Street 10 miles through the city of Philadelphia, through various neighborhoods, with fans lining up much of the way, and 30,000 people shouting at you and cheering you along the way.
My lessons? Pee early because the lines get crazy the closer to launch time.
Peep video kicking off the rainy race below.
