Comments:
John and I raced the Windrunner 10K in Wheaton at the Danada Forest Preserve. The trails through the preserve were beautiful! Mom came along to cheer/watch.
I started out fast at 6:30, then settled into a slower pace. John passed me at around the 2 mile mark. I got a surge around mile 3 and passed a few people, including John. He then passed me a couple minutes later! He ran great! He ended up finishing ahead of me by quite a bit! I had a decently strong finish and held a couple people in when I kicked it in at the end. My time was quite a bit slower than my first 10K time two years ago in 2014, but I take it as feedback for my current fitness / running level.

I ran 44:45 (7:13 pace), which was 65th overall (out of 374 total runners), 10th for overall women, and 3rd in my age group/division (30-34). John ran 43:54 (7:05 pace), which was 59th overall, 51st for overall men, and 9th in his age group/division.
