I'm Not An Awesome Runner...

And that's ok, at least for now.  I've been running for a few years now, and quite frankly I'm not great at it.  It's a good run if I can maintain a 10-11/minute pace.  

This morning was a beautiful morning, a perfectly clear and cool day.  The race was to benefit the scholarship fund established in honor of Jeremy Herbstritt.  It was well-run, and the "quaker hill" portion was punishing.  

But why was I out there?  Running isn't my primary sport, nor do I spend enough time on it to excel at it.  Today it was enough to get out there on my recovering ankle, to push my recovering lungs, and to have a great time.  At that I excelled.
