A first for me, a 15K or 9.2 mile race. Longest race to date! Having done a few training runs of 10-12 miles I decided I could tackle this race. I am happy to say the ambulance did not carry me off, and while I would have liked to finish higher in my age group, overall I am in the top 50% (48% actually). Again this shows the fitness level of 55-59 year olds that I am up against! In that group I was 17 out of 20 which puts me in the bottom 15%! A big difference.<\/p>\n

Kensington Metro Park<\/a> is one of the larger, if the not largest in the area. It encompasses the large lake and is quite a nice setting. Lots of activites we may try some time, horseback riding, biking and maybe even some walking.\u00a0 You can see the pictures of the park and the race Since the path loops the lake there are not so many of the actual race.

\"By<\/a><\/p>\n

By the numbers:<\/p>\n

\n

a) 15 Kilometers = 9.2 miles.<\/p>\n

b) ran at a 10:02 per mile pace, 1:33:24 total time.<\/p>\n

c) finished 229 out of 473 overall, so finished in the top 48% of all runners.<\/p>\n

d) finished 17 out of 20 in my age group.<\/p>\n

e) had a great time, which was the real race goal!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The race went great, a new PR for me, and a pretty good pace.<\/p>\n

From Last Post:<\/p>\n

You know, I am sorta getting an urge to try a half marathon… but trying to resist until next year. Just barely doing the 5 mile thing right now. Maybe I will try a 10 miler before I make the jump. There should be some coming up yet this year.\u00a0We’ll see.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Okay, that’s done, now do I go and try the Detroit Free Press Half Marathon in October?<\/p>\n

\"Web<\/a><\/p>\n

The race is in it’s 25th year and is presented by the Ann Arbor Track Club. https:\/\/www.aatrackclub.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Until the final winding path is run and the hills are all level,<\/p>\n
