Foxboro Old Fashioned 10 Mile - Race Start (video)

Went to Foxboro today to run the 5K as part of the annual event conducted by the Wampanoag Road Runners. I had registered to run the 10 Mile but I started feeling my ankle again after a run recently so I backed off, didn't run this week, and decided to only do the 5K today. The ankle doesn't hurt. I just could feel it when walking and sitting in certain positions. Not wanting to take chances, the rest was a good idea.

The real test will be to see how it feels tomorrow.

Anyway more of my status and 5K run later. Here is the start to the 10 Mile Race.




Enjoy!

Note: full 10 Mile race results can be found at Cool Running.
