Today was a beautiful day for a run - and knowing that, Beyond Fitness scheduled their "Chocolate Chase" run today. Three different option, 3 mile walk, 3 mile run, and 6 mile run.

Since today was a scheduled brick workout, I started with 30 minutes on the spin bike, then did the 6 mile run. Run was fairly uneventful, I started out near the back, and was able to pass all but 3 or 4 runners on the 6 mile run. My finishing time was 48 minutes and 54 seconds, according to my watch. I ended up second in my age group, and I believe fourth overall. Since I'm still training for the 1/2 Iron at the end of this month, I refueld with Recharge after I finished, and headed back out - did about a 5 mile loop of the downtown area, to round my mileage for the day out to about 11 miles.

The group at Beyond Fitness did a great job with this run - it started on time, had good music/pa system, and lots of drinks and volunteers.
