Notes: Before this race, I trained with the goal of beating all of last year's training races' times. I used an intermediate schedule, which stepped up the miles I was running per week to 25. I was absolutely loving it... until I hurt my hip. Due to running longer, harder, and earlier in the day, I wound up with tendonitis in my right hip. I went to see Dr. Edwards at Bedford Chiropractic, and he helped tremendously. However, that didn't change the fact that I was toeing the line with my most recent run nine days in the past. In my favor, the course changed due to ice, so it was flatter. (My hip was having a hard time with the hills.) I was very happy to finish with a PR of 27:32. Dad and Mom both participated as well, and came in at 43:56 and 49:12, respectively.
