Laser Show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great day in Newburyport, MA for me. Ripped a 1:07:21 at the Yankee Homecoming 10 Miler for a 6:45/mile pace (broke into the top 100!!). Finally feeling like I am getting back in the saddle. Forgot to start my watch at the start and from then on kept forgetting to hit the spit at each mile. There were people calling off splits at each mile so I had a good idea of my ballpark pace, but wasn't so focused on my watch that I blew up at any point-I think that helped. Started to empty the tank a little too early at the end and got passed by a guy in the last 1/4 mile that I passed at 9.5. Felt in control throughout and strong at the finish. Great weather and my family was there to watch the Laser show. Just about a perfect day.
