Another Rotary Mission 10 (mile) and 5K race, in San Juan Bautista, sponsored by the Hollister Rotary Club, is in the books. I overheard somebody say that this was something like the thirty-first running of the Mission 10. I have probably run six or seven of these—I’m not sure exactly—but even though we are barely a month into winter, The Mission 10, coming at the end of January, always seems like the start of the “spring” racing season. And this is a good race to begin the New Year: Ten miles is an unusual distance these days, but it is a very good test. Longer than a 10K but shorter than a half marathon, ten miles is long enough to remind you that this it is a long way, so if you have plans to run anything longer this year—half marathon or marathon— you need to start ramping up the mileage.
