Today I ran the 10 Mile Race at the 2009 Crim Festival of Races. My official time was 1:23:33 (hh:mm:ss), which was 34:35 (mm:ss) faster than my previous record. This is a personal best for me with almost a 30% improvement over last year. I am definitely pleased with my results.

The Crim is one of those events that I look forward to each year. It attracts thousands of runners, yet still maintains a small town feel to the event. I also appreciate how the Crim has become a tradition for the city of Flint and has been held every year since 1977.
