Bear Water Run - 10 mile

I ran the 10 mile distance of the Bear Water Run last Saturday. I was sick with a cold. I missed my final 20 miler the day before. Since I had planned my 20 for the Friday before, I only signed up for the 10 miler. The 20 mile distance of the race is perfect for Twin Cities Marathon runners.

The day was cool with some light rain on and off. The race started and I was still unsure how I was going to run until about a half a mile in. At that point I felt like running faster and I finished will with a new PR. My cold is now a week old but almost gone. It's about time.

Now it's time to taper for the TCM.

ahhhhh... the Bear Water Runs. I enjoyed those races the few years I did them.

Hope you kick the cold.

There is nothing wrong with a two week taper, so don't sweat it.
