Last Sunday was the 2013 Broad Street Run. I didn't run poorly, but I didn't have a great run either. I was about two minutes slower than last year. I did take a 2 and a half minute rest stop around mile 5 since I drank a bit too much prior to the start. I also felt awful at the 8th mile and walked for about two minutes. I figure if I hadn't had to stop I probably would have PRed and if I hadn't had to walk, I might have broken 1:40. So, you know, I'm not thrilled with the race but I'm not upset about it either.
I was much happier with the race this year. Last year I found it hard to register and nearly too crowded to run. I had told myself I would only register if it went to a lottery system - less stressful trying to get in you know. This year it WAS a lottery system and I was lucky enough to get in. Security was amped up after Boston, so I didn't feel unsafe at all. I also did not feel that they overdid security; in any case, things ran very smoothly. If I'm lucky enough to get into the lottery next year, I will be sure to run again. (I only need to run six more races before I get in due to veteran status.)

I'm starting to think I'll need to extend my challenge to December 31st to make it!!!
