I ran the 5k because I was completely underprepared for the half.

1st mile - 6:41

Probably started a little too fast. Especially considering that I was thinking maybe I'd walk if I got tired.

2nd mile - 7:07

I got really tired at the turn-around point.  I let a couple people pass me, and I just tried to keep my breathing going and not have too much runny nose.

3rd mile and .10 - 7:54

I really wanted to finish strong, so I held back quite a bit.  Geez, it seemed like a really long 3rd mile.  My strategy didn't help much. I ended up not having a kick at the end.  I just cruised in with the runners that were near me.  I was a little disappointed that I didn't finish with a sprint, but totally happy with my time.  I am hoping this encourages me to run more in the next few weeks.

Gotta love the "out of the block" starts. Take it as a learning experience and that is still a great time.

No guts not glory, way to go for it. Rather fight to hang on than wonder why? Good luck on the Grand Slam this year, kick start the running year.
