​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.

Great weather and I felt really good.
I believe I am now a double bogey runner.

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.
