Race Results! Charlottesville Marathon

I just completed the Charlottesvile Marathon with a time of 03:53:41. The race started at 6:30 a.m., which wasn't a big deal for me except that I had to get up at 4:00 a.m. to be there on time. It was, no doubt, a beautiful scenic course, but a tough marathon for me with all the hills. It almost seemed like it was just hill after hill, but it was a really good experience and great practice, since my last two marathons were on relatively flat courses. I look forward to running it again next year.

Race Results! Monument Ave 10k

There were 25,023 registered runners at the Monument Avenue 10k this year. The race was won by Ethiopian, Teferi Bacha, with a time of 28:29. The weather was definitely not a factor like last year. It was about 49 degrees at the start of the race and the cool weather really enabled me to run at a good pace. I kept a pace of slightly under 07:30, and finished at 46:15, a personal record. The crowd of cheering spectators was great, which made the event a lot of fun. I'm already looking forward to next year's race.
