100th Road Race: Today is my three years anniversary of running. It all started on June 25, 2011 at North Haven Irish Festival 5K with a time of 39:30 or a pace of 12:45. Since then I have improved my pace, and my best 5K time is 21:34 or a pace of 6:58. So what did I do today, I celebrated my anniversary by running my 100th official race in Bolton XC race. This is one of the best race I have run. It has been great experience traveling all over the state toward my goal of running in all 169 towns in Connecticut. So far I have visited and run in 74 towns. I have run all kind of distances including one 50K, 2 marathons, 7 half marathons, 90 other races in variety of distances. I have run on roads, around lakes, over bridges, trails, parks, dirt roads, in the woods and so on. I have met many great people, made lots of good friends, lost weight, and running improved my life and health in many ways. First thanks to Charles Merlis who introduced me to running, and thanks to all the people who helped push myself during the races, and gave me advises. Here is a link to article on how running helped in case you have not seen it. courant/sports/hc-riley-column-0427-20140426,0,7370922.column
