10K~~Annapolis 10K

Today was the Annapolis 10K--6.2 miles.  It was a great run, even thought it was cold and breezy.  It was so cold that my lungs ached and hurt as I ran, but I made it the whole distance.  And since, it was a race, I wasn't too slow.  I finished in 1 hour and 6 minutes.  Not too shabby for a 50 year old!
  
The run took us through downtown area, past the Naval Academy, and to the harbor.  It was great scenery and a beautiful run, even though it was cold.  Once we finished, they gave us a silver mylar type wrap to put on to keep the wind off of us.  I ran to the car and changed shoes and put on a jacket in addition to the mylar blanket.  It definitely helped me stay warmer.  Once Chris and I met up, we claimed our premium.  Here it was a long sleeved running shirt with red arms.  I liked it!  We then toured the tent area, but there wasn't much to see. They had beer, but no root beer like they advertised (darn), and some tomato soup.  There was dj and a couple of stores selling things.  Since it was so cold, we stayed a very short time and headed home.  Another great run day.
