On Sunday, Mrs. Running Griffin and I ran the Old Fashioned Ten Miler in Foxboro, Massachusetts. I decided to use this as a casual recovery run having done a 10k the day before and still feeling some pain from the surgery a week before.

If you have never done the Old Fashioned Ten Miler, it is a race you need to put on your bucket list. It is a great course that runs through residential neighborhoods and has a moderately challenging variation in terms of running grades. At one point you get to run on the road that abuts Gillette Stadium which makes for something pretty cool to look at as you are running.

Organized by the Wampanoag Road Runners, the OFTM has a great stretch of course that runs on streets that wind through state forest land and the course is just about as good as a ten miler can get. There is great course support along the way and the post-race food and raffles are well worth sticking around for.

We finished the race at a good steady pace for Mrs. Running Griffin with a time of 1:48:59 good for 10:54/miles.
