Brantford Waterworks 10 Kilometre Race


        Yesterday I finished the 4th 10 km race of this year with each being a bit faster than the one before. Today's time was 59:42 and was the first time I have been under 60 minutes since October of 1995. I am sure I missed recording a couple of races back in the 90's before I had the injury that kept me away from running for six years but still I am very pleased to be able to run at 70 and actually be doing better. I doubt that that will continue but am very pleased with my races this year. Hoping for a good half-marathon run in November. Thanks to all the people who have been supporting me and urging me on this past year!
