Lombardi 10k Run

The Lombardi Walk/Run for Cancer was held at the Milwaukee Zoo. I found out about the event because it is heavily GE Healthcare sponsored and there was excellent participation from a lot of the GEHC employees. I was the lone IMLP runner in the event, while the other IMLPs donated their time and money towards the walk event.

Despite it being a very early morning with little to no sleep, I was excited for the run and performed very well. It was multiple laps through the Milwaukee Zoo. The setting was really cool and the terrain was paved and small rolling hills. I placed 16th in my age group (19-29) and 61st overall with a time of 47:13 or about 7:20 miles. As always the Garmin Stats are below!
I had to push through some pain in my foot towards the end. I was able to complete the event strong but the next few weeks were devoid of training as I recovered. The afterparty was also very very fun :)
