A Noble Race


This weekend’s run was a 5K in Westfield for Noble Hospital. This was the 28th Annual Run for a Noble Cause.  The course starts & ends at Stanley Park, and it’s very flat.  With the exception of one hairpin turn, this is a course for a personal best.

Being that it’s only two weeks after Boston, I chose to run but not to race.  This was only my second time out in the last two weeks, and I’ve had either a head cold, of allergies for the last few days, so I thought it best not to push too hard.

This year the Air Guard decided to support a team.  Being that I wasn’t racing, I opted to run independently, but it was great having a few friends running.  Jeff, Glenda, Tony, Kyle, Rob & Billy made up the team, and did well (second team).  This was Glenda’s first race, and she took second female overall.  The results are available at coolrunning.com

As I said before, I chose to not push too hard, and I was happy with an 8:02 pace (24:58).
