Hospital Hill photos are up!

Photos from the Hospital Hill run are now online! Visit www.actionsportsimages.com and click on the link for the 2007 Hospital Hill Run. Enter my bib number (5185) to view all the photos of me in the race. There are a few that make me look like a real runner!

Here's one of my favorites. Paul ran the 10k in about 45 minutes and got 72nd place overall. He was pretty excited and has since decided to run the Kansas City Marathon! Go Rizzo!

Hospital Hill Run

Well, I ran my first 10k this morning. 5:30 am came way too soon, but before I knew it the race was over and now I have my whole day left!

I ran the first half of the race with Nicole Schumacher - whom I've convinced to do Nike with me! Then we split and she took off for the second half. She only ended up beating my by about 1 minute though. We really tryed to finish with a negative split and not get killed on the hills.

I felt good for the most part while I ran. I definitely need to ice my ankles as they gave me a bit of a problem throughout. Once I hit the last water stop, I dumped the cup on my head, trekked up the last (grueling) hill and then kicked it into high gear for the home stretch. I picked a guy up ahead that I wanted to pass and I did in plenty of time! Ended up running about 1:05. Its not going to win me a place, but I am so happy with how I did. I even felt like I could have kept going if I needed to....those days are coming soon though!

Photos from the run to come soon...
