Today I participated in the 27th Annual Canton Fall Classic.   The event offered a variety of races that included a 5k, 10k, kid’s fun run and a Senior Walk.  I wanted to participate in today’s events because I heard from other runners that it was   one of the South Shore’s best event.      Today, I ran the 5k.

It was a perfect morning for a race. More than 400 runners participated in the 5K, 10K, Fun Run and Senior Walk.   Temple Beth Abraham hosted the 27^th running of the Canton Fall Classic.

The race was challenging and scenic.  The course was surprisingly hilly, but I guess running hills has many benefits.  The first mile had a few small rolling hills.  The second mile of the 5k was all uphill.    The last mile was downhill to the finish.

Last week my running schedule looked like:

 

 

Monday 13 miles on a treadmill, running to music by Kenny Rogers, and a success

 

It was an excellent run.   Water, snacks, a fan, comfortable environment to run in, I was ready to run.  Kenny Rogers music was the theme for my playlist this week.  Love old country!

My plan was to run 11 miles, but once I reached   the 11-mile mark, I decided to keep running to complete a Half Marathon on a treadmill.

 

Tuesday 6 miles

Sunday     3 miles
