Today's Race

Today I ran in the Scotland Run 10K. Some details:

Distance: 10K (6.2 miles)
Location: Central Park, NYC. A full loop, clockwise, plus a smidgen.
Time: 55:13
Pace: 8:54 per mile. Pretty normal for me.
Highlight: Chatting with a lovely, tall (yum!), probably too-young woman before running.
Frustration: Not getting contact info for said lovely, tall woman. Couldn't find her after the race. (She was faster than me, which is also very attractive.)
Other highlight: "french toast" bagels at the end.
Entertainment: Scottish bands, including one called the "Red Hot Chili *Pipers*". Really.

Ran into some friends from Team in Training after the race, and rode the subway back to Brooklyn with two of them. We agreed that one of the best things about doing a road race in the morning is that you feel completely justified being a sloth for the rest of the day.

And so I was.
