Cardboard Classic

I ran the Cardboard Classic this morning - 8k at independence Oaks. It's 2 loops around the lake with the first loop up a 200 foot climb and the second loop around the shore. I ran well and finished in52 minutes, 33/40. 10 minute pace with 12 min.pace for the hill, which I racewalked. Temps in the 50's and sun, a beautiful day. A young boy touched my shoulder as he passed, a nice gesture. My feet and ankles felt sore until the last mile.
