Official Race Time for 10K run is 1:16:49. I probably could have done a little better if I didn't stop to take pictures. I didn't run or train on any challenging hills very much this year because of how much rain that we had during the last month and a half because I didn't want to run in mud on any of my usual hilly (very challenging) trails. The course this year was definitely different from last year's course and it seemed more challenging. After being so used to a challenging course from previous years where the hills felt like mountains (mountains in my mind) that last year felt too easy and I was disappointed. It was hilly, but they didn't feel like mountains to me. Since I didn't run on hilly trails for this year, I did well on the hills. There was this one very steep yet short hill at one point of the run. I was the only one running and passed by a lot of people who walked. I'd like to think that the many, many hours that I spent riding my bike last year to and from work (which had hills during my rides) had helped greatly.

I was going do a bike ride for fun today, but I don't feel like doing it anymore.
