I believe a resolution to the foot issue has been found. Foot docter fixed it.
Was excited to run but physical health not good for a couple of months. Very disappointing. Great weather.

​First run in my 60's
Felt very good. Feet were bad but did not have to stop.
Have not run Bismarck for several years. Now starts/ends on capital grounds.
It is definitely a higher profile venue but it means the last three miles are uphill.

So very tragic. not sure why (he did not know me) but i am devastated. has hit me very hard. He went for a bike ride.
about 100 runners showed up at 7:30 am to run 10 miles. the 2:00 pm service at Hope was pretty much full.

Perham Turtle Fest 10k
55:11 (8:53)
i won my age group 50-59. there were two of us.
i was also the oldest person (59) running the 10k (30 people males and females).
i need a solution to my shoe/foot issue.
an avid fan would realize this is the first time in 50 running events (most half marathons) that I am wearing a different style of shoe. i have bought the same style of shoe for the last 50 events. you are all fake fans.
Tried it here because 10k and not a 10 mile or half. did not go well. the search continues.
