Father Teds 10K

I woke up and had my peanut butter and banana toast with one cup of coffee. This seems to be my typical race day breakfast.  It was about 40 degrees this morning and about 55 at race time. We got there early and it was a small race, so not much of a wait to get our bibs. 

I really like Notre Dame's campus, so many old buildings.  I need to watch the movie Rudy again and see if I recognize any of the places we ran by.  I ran at ND last month for the Holy Half.  It made me want to do another race on campus.  Maybe one day if I get good at carrying my phone I can take some pictures on some courses.  They had a bagpipe player at the start and then he moved during the race to a spot on the lake and it really made the sound travel.  Bagpipes instantly make me get teary eyed.  Plenty of water stops, but this time I brought my hand held bottle with lemon lime Nuun.  Its much better than gulping down water at the water stations.  My Friend Mandy rode with me and ran the 10K also.  I posted on FB if anyone wanted to come with me and she was the lucky winner(the only one who said yes).  We had a great time, it was nice to have someone come with me.

I finished at 1:01(The course may have been a little short, but don't tell anyone)  I averaged a 10:34 pace, which I am very happy with.  Stopped at Eddy Street Commons after the race and got a big burrito bowl at Chipolte, YUM!
