Pear Blossom Run

Saturday I ran the 10-mile Pear Blossom Run in Medford, OR. There were 1,580 finishers and lots of spectators. Luckily, I was able to see all of the people I knew who were also running. I was happy with my time, 1:15:23, since my goal was to run a 7:30 pace. I did learn a lesson: Check to see if your timing chip works (by running over the mat and listening for the beep) before the run. My chip didn't work and therefore I didn't get officially timed, and I don't show up on the results page. I figured out that I was 9th out of 127 in my age division. It was a fun, flat course and I plan to run it again next year.
