Getting on the tallest soapbox with my biggest bugle this morning. Get ready for a remarkable performance Saturday. The fastest time at State Farm 10 Mile seems to be Kurt Keiser’s 50:22. Way back in 2000. I’m just hoping someone will go with Grant to make it a Real Race, if so, look for a sub 50. For perspective on how the best of the best have fared at the annual race see the list below.
2000- Kurt Keiser- 50:22
2001- Ivan Ivanov- 53:05
2002- Ivan Ivanov- 54:27
2003- Ryan Salem- 54:34

The 2016 Shamrock Shuffle 8K in Chicago. Grant’s 23:55 good for 4th against the very best of the very best. He won’t be making the trip to the Windy City this year but will make a run at the State Farm record. Giddyup!
