Gorgeous spring day - Doug and I biked down to the Philadelphia Museum of Art for the race. That's Doug stretching with the Museum in the background.
We both got off to a slow start - we were near the back, and it took a while to work through the scrum. According to the results, there were about 700 runners. Saw my old friend Raymond - who started me running again two years ago - near the front of the returning runners. I think he got 2nd in his age group. I was in 9th place for the older guys.
Very proud of Doug. He wants to keep running, and to increase his distance. I'm thinking we'll work on the training schedule Raymond recommended for the Philadelphia Distance Run 2 years ago. It starts with 3X3 mile runs/week, which we just did, and slowly builds from there. There's another 5K race on May 10th in which we might be able to run on the Penn Med team.
Broke 900 today!
