MCM10K October 27, 2013 I completed my third 10K race this past Sunday.  And while I didn't meet my goal of beating last year's time, I still feel pretty satisfied overall.

In fact, while driving in to the race, the radio station had a laundry list of accidents they were reporting. Part of the course run took us over a couple of bridges and the bridges were icy. Every one immediately starting slowing down and "babying" their steps until they got beyond the bridge. Along with the bridges being very slippery, so were the traffic lines that are painted on the road. After stepping on one of those once, I tried to avoid stepping on any more of them. I should have thought to bring Kleenex. My nose kept running. It was cold but I really didn't feel the cold until the race was over and all the runners were slowly and I do mean very slowly making their way to get their medals and to the finishers area. According to the results page, there were 6867 fi...
