Freedom Run 10K Preview

This race is part of the Fun Fourth festivities that are scheduled in downtown Greensboro as part of the July 4th celebration, and one that I have done several times in the past. It usually has a pretty good turnout and a history of being very hot and humid. The course has several rolling hills and one or two bigger hills, so it's anything but flat. My running times recently have not been as fast as they should be so I don't expect to break any records, but I should have a decent showing. I think if my times were better right now I would be more excited about the possibility of setting a new personal record for a 10K, but instead I anticipate being a minute or two off of my record and enduring brutal humidity.
