Ben Franklin Bridge Run 10k, Nov. 4th, 2012...and "Scene!"

Pol, Chris, Fred, Noah and Judy post-race...the cool wind in our hair!
When an ol' running pal who hasn't raced in years, suddenly comes out of retirement and signs up for an event, out of principle you gotta do it too!  When that pal has also helped you replace your hot water heater, fix your toilet and is just an all-around sooth-sayer wise man, it's even more reason.  Thanks Fred for getting us out on a cold Sunday morning in November!

The Ben Franklin Bridge Run 10k is one of those must-do events in the Philly area, and somehow this was our first time!  Starting in Camden, NJ you run across the closed-off Ben Franklin Bridge to Philly, turn around and come back, then run a few more miles in Camden before finishing in Campbell's Baseball Field.  It was a chilly, windy morn in the low 40's, but we dragged ourselves out to race with Fred, Noah and Judy in what turned-out to be a great finish to our racing year.  All felt accomplished, and special accolades go out to Fred for beating his goal time.  Here's how Chris and I fared:
Polly:  41:05, 1st in AG out of 394, 89th overall out of 3,263 finishers
Chris:  40:21, 5th in AG out of 201, 74th overall
1st in AG award!
