1st Freedom's Run 10k

Shepherdstown WV
Great day and a nice set of runs from Marathon to 5k walk. Indeed you could walk any distance. This was a PR for my age grouping at 55:22 on my bum, burning foot. The Marathon began at Harpers Ferry and ended here after going through the battle ground at Sharpsburg. Not unlike the march that AP Hill made when he slammed into the flank of Burnside and saved the ANV. The battles at Harpers Ferry and Sharpsburg along the Antietam Creek help preserve the freedom of the CSA in their struggle for independence--for a spell at least and set the stage for Lincoln to issue his Emancipation Proclamation and orders to his Armies that granted Freedom to the "Contraband" slaves liberated in CSA controlled areas.
