This morning, I ran the Greater Hartford Quarter Marathon, at the MDC Reservoir in West Hartford. It's a lovely park, with trails and biking/running paths, and a lot of dogs! The field was limited to 500 runners, which was the perfect size for this venue, and actually, only 395 finishers were listed in the final results.

Details, and a picture! )
TL;DR -- I hauled my overweight carcass around a 10.5K course, and did not finish last! \o/ And, I had fun (I think).
