Congrats to Frank KJ for taking the master's win in the 5K at the Old Fashioned 10 Miler and 5K in Foxboro. Here's his report:
"I surprised myself with a better than expected 5K race today, running 18:13 and taking 2nd in the Masters and 5th overall. Of course all the fast people were in the 10 miler but I took home a trophy that says 1st 40-49 thanks to no double-dipping. The winner, who's a master, ran a freaking 15:59. I found myself in 7th out of the gate. At mile one a Saucony female runner came up along me and we paced each for the next one mile but in the end I was a bit stronger into the wind and put some time between her and me. By the way my GPS showed 3.16M and 5:46 pace - sound even better than the official 5:53 pace so I will go with that."
In the 10 miler, a couple more Mini Pony Masters put in strong runs, with the Youngstah cranking a 1:03 and Chris Smith putting down a 1:04 for the 10 miler course. When are those Fluff people going to call about a sponsorship?? Chris isn't gettin' any younger!

Nice going Frank. Thanks for cheering for me at the end! I was in a bit of O2 debt. Chris had me clearly beaten by 5 miles but his hamstring had other ideas.
All in all not a bad day although I was a bit slower than last years time. Must be my oldageitis flaring up!
-P-
Go Frank, Paul and Chris! Nice job! Can you imagine what would have happened if you'd eaten food this year Chris? (Cover of Sports Illustrated??).
Go Mini-Ponies!
