Ten for Texas

This morning I was able to run The Woodlands 10 mile race for the first time. I had conflicts with either training or other races the past 2 years. A cold front came through last night; weather channel temperature was 52 when I woke up at 5:30 this morning. Other than being a bit breezy at times, race conditions were near perfect. I ran a fairly consistent pace throughout the 10 miles with my mile paces falling between 7:07 and 7:26. Total time per my Garmin was 1:13:43; official chip times have not been released yet. The good news is that based on today's result my marathon predicted time per the McMillan Running calculator is 3:26:20. That gives me a 4 minute cushion for my Boston qualifying marathon time. We need similiar weather here in Houston January 18th for the marathon!
