Northeast Road Runners Club Winter 10k race report
I was a bit worried when the forecast called for snow but it was supposed to clear before race time. I did wake to snow and as predicted (unbelievable I know!) it cleared as I drove to the race. The sun came out and the snow on the pavement melted down for a great race.
I signed in and got my number then off for a mile run to warm up.
We started right on time and we were on our way. 3.1 miles down and back the path of Kelly Drive past Boat House Row in Philadelphia.
My first mile clocked in at 8'48" and I soon settled into a pace after getting over the "I need to stay up here" new racer thoughts.
During my training my best pace for 10k has been 10'19" per mile. I was hoping to finish this race at a 10 min pace.
I tell ya running in a race really does push you! I finished the race at 58:05 - 9'20" pace per mile!
Official standings have not been posted yet but that's my recorded time. I placed 137 out of 180 or so people overall.
So my 5k pace last week was 9'06" per mile and it went to 9'20" per mile for this 10k. Not bad!
I have a few 5k races planned before the May Broad Street 10 Miler. I just need to add a few more miles to my training and I think I can do it! Then a 1/2 marathon by fall. I'm loving this guys!
Thanks,
Tom

Levittown ...lol ... I grew up here and moved away only to return and buy a house here years later. It's an insteresting place for sure. What section did you live in? I'm in Lakeside.

I can't remember the development name any more, but we were in the Bristol Township part and not one of the more middle-class areas.
I got out at 13 and I ain't never coming back. I'm a California Girl now.

Magnolia Hill sounds too upscale. Then again, it sounds familiar.
The main drag around the development is Mill Drive so Mill Something is probably the development name. I tried to find a picture of the entrance to the development on Google Maps but the sign seems to be gone.
