Andrea Holden 5K

Last weekend I ran in the Andrea Holden 5K. It was a bright sunny day but a little chilly (low 30s at the start). Around 500 runners at this year's event - I think that is there largest turn out so far. I finished in 51st place with a time of 21:06. About a minute faster than the raw bar in Mashpee a month ago. So the running seems to be coming along. Running between 20-25 miles a week right now.

Next up will be a the CCAC grand prix series starting this weekend in Chatham. There is a series of 7 races/runs all on Sunday mornings. These are quite fun. 5$ and we bring some food to help out the host. Where else can you run with 60-70 of your friends for 5$ and eat all kinds of food after.

If you run 5 of them and your a member (cost $20 to join) you will get an award at the end. You don't have to be a member to come run at one of these races nor do you have to race. In fact I'll probably just use this Sunday as a training run.

This weekend's run will be at Campari's Bistro in Chatham at 11am on Sunday. Bring your $5 and I'll see you there. Go to the CCAC website for details and directions.

Edaville 2 mile Fun Run

Recently I ran in the 2 mile fun run at Edaville. It was a blast! I hadn't run in a race like this in a very long time. First it was short (under 3 miles) and it was mostly x-country. I finished 5th out of 161 and 2nd in my age group with a time of 12:50.

Next up will the the Andrea Holden 5k road race in Dennis the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
