Over the weekend Aimee and I ran in the Frisco Railroad Run; a 10 mile, Marathon, 50k, and 50 mile run on the Frisco Trail. The Frisco Trail starts in Springfield by the airport, and runs all the way to Bolivar; the RR Run starts in Willard. Aimee and I participated in the 10 mile event for the second year in a row. Since we are running the Fargo Marathon in 3 weeks, we also had our longest training run scheduled for Saturday, so we ran the race, ran back, and added a few extra miles to get our longest runs of 21 (Aimee) and 23 (Dustin) miles.
As for the race, Aimee was 4th overall female and won her age division, while I was 6th overall and took 2nd in my age division. With our finishing places, we were both able to pick up a sweet box-car trophy (this makes 2 in a row for Aimee)! This week we begin our taper and will be racing in the May Day 5k in Republic on Saturday, May 7th. I have been helping a group of teachers get ready for the event and we are looking forward to seeing them reach their goal.
In totally non-related Aimee and Dustin news, but running related new; a runner set a new record for time in a 100 mile race running just under 13 hours, which is roughly a 7:40 minute pace for 100 miles!!! Check it out.
