I ran the 2011 Marine Corps Marathon 10K race a week ago Sunday, and set a new 10K PR. My official 10K (6.2 miles) time for the race was 57:21. That is 24 seconds faster than my previous 10K time in 2009 at the same event. I finished number 1617 out of 6867 finishers, and I was the 1017th male out of 2708. My goal for the race was to beat my previous 10K time, so I was pleased with my result and my pace (approx 9:15 min miles).

Update (October 31, 2011):
I took this picture on the iconic “Rocky Steps” of the Philadelphia Museum of Art while I was in Philadelphia for the Educause Annual Conference. I took a nice out-and-back 5 mile run along Boathouse Row on the Schuylkill River, and finished with the touristy Rocky experience.
