2nd Best 10 Mile Time Ever!!

Today during the Buffalo Stampede/Parrott Migration I managed to get my 2nd Best 10 Mile Time Ever!!  My best 10 Mile time was back in 2000 at the Annapolis 10-Miler and what is now my 3rd Best 10 Mile Time was at the Army 10-Miler shortly thereafter.  In 2000, I was significantly lighter AND was training and completing marathons!  Yet despite my current extra poundage, comparable limited training mileage, AND being 11 years older I managed an impressive time of 2:07.34!!!  So excited.  


I have done this particular race for the last 3 years.  Here's a summary. 

  • Year 1:  Required a police escort for several miles during the race because I was LAST!  Finished with a time of 2:43.47
  • Year 2:  No police escort needed.  Finished with a time of 2:25.15
  • Today:  2:07.34  
That's a 35 minute improvement or 3:30 min/mile faster in just 2 years.  The coolest thing is that when I plugged in my finish time in the race predictor calculator, it said my half marathon time would be 2:50!  That would also be my 2nd best half marathon time ever!  I'm seeing a trend here.  I'll be able to see if it holds true in three weeks.  I can't complain but I also can't wait until my times become my BEST time ever.
