Twin Cities 10 Miler

I got up before 5am this morning to run the Twin Cities Marathon 10 Miler. As part of the Twin Cities Marathon events, there is a 10 mile run from Minneapolis to St. Paul. The start and finish are the same as for the marathon but instead of running through the two cities park systems, it is a more direct route.

This was the longest distance I have run (other than walking through a couple of water stations)without any walking .

I was shooting for a 10 min/mile pace but ended with a much faster pace of 8:36.

The start was in the dark before sunrise.

Finish at the capitol in St. Paul.
