Bridge City Boogie
Today I ran 10 km in the Bridge City Boogie. I think that makes my third 10K with my first two being in 2006 in Vancouver for the Sun run and in Ottawa on race weekend. I was signed up with a team fr
om work called the U of S Langwidj Senter Fenetik Fenaetiks (this is not Swedish, rather a phonetic spelling of English). Being the only one from my team in the 10K I hung out more with the Groove Armada team that had some dancing friends on it. Surprisingly I finished the run in a minute or two over an hour. I was rather worried about not having trained enough.
During the run it was fun having my sister Maggie and my Dad cheering at the start of Kiw
anis park and my mom as a volunteer road marshall further along on Broadway. My sister commented that it is now full circle for my dad because as a small child I used to help at water stations when he ran marathons. My favourite part of the run was cheering on the musicians and volunteers along the way. My least favourite part was the last kilometre of the race when the runners merged with the walkers. Once you made it through the slow moving herd of walkers often with strollers, the volunteers wanted you to immediately stop and line up for a treat bag just past the finish line. After running 10K your body prefers you to walk a little bit to decelerate. In any case it was a pretty good run.
