On Sunday, October 2nd, I ran the Medtronic Twin Cities 10 mile race. It was a very popular run, with over 7500 participants. We all ran from the metrodome in downtown Minneapolis to the tate capitol in St. Paul.
The weather couldn't have been much better, as it was in the 40s at 7:09 when the race began, and warmed up from there. The race went along the western side of the mississippi river, until we crossed at franklin ave into St. Paul, where we ran on the eastern mississippi river road. After a couple miles there, we turned onto Summit ave to finish the race to the capitol. I was very familiar with the last half of the race or so, as I have done many runs along Summit ave.
With the great weather, familiar course, and all of my recent training, I knew it would be a solid race for me. I ended up with a PR, and wasn't exhausted at the end. The rest of the day was great as well, as I watched other finishers in both the 10 mile race and the marathon.
