The date for this 10K happened to coincide with World Run Day, so Naomi signed us up for this event, as World Run Day is something she has gotten involved with, in part as a "team building" item for the employees of PhRMA, where she is VP of Human Resources. Fine with me, must admit being at the point where a 10K is more or less some speed work, so why not.
Race day found Naomi having some physical issues, so she took me over to the Washington Memorial and dropped me off with instructions to call her from the Metro on my way home. Nice day, and to say the course is flat and fast would be a considerable understatement. The biggest elevation change is about 10 feet, with the entire event being done in Potomac Park, including around the end of Hains Point and back.
No pictures, but I did take about 40 seconds off my MCM 10K time and set a new PR for the 6.2 mile distance of 1:25:51. OK, not super fast for a racewalker, let alone a runner, but it's getting better.

Started with just 100 runners worldwide, runners connected and impacted their communities in a positive way. As a result, World Run Day was the only event celebrated simultaneously around the globe by people of all backgrounds, faiths, nationalities, and benefitted their favorite charity. "
