Not a personal record, not a fast day, but a day of control. Kept it close to the line of easy and too hard on a 10K run with the Delaware River rumbling in the distance. It peeked through the trees, powerfully ignoring me the whole time.
The beautiful fall foliage, lots of reds and yellows, paid no attention. Creeks babbled and paid me no mind.
Nearly 10 or so minutes off my PR, on my third effort here at the 2021 River Ramble, but it felt fine.
My bib was #80, and I came in 80th place. Perfect day.
