I didnt run a great race this morning. I dont think my warmup was very good because the first 400 of the race was very taxing for some reason. I ran a great 2nd mile again, so that is a positive I can take from this race. Still got an award for being top 10 out of 400-500. Need to keep working to get better.

You sound like your own worst critic. :)

Nice to be able to reflect, I suppose. But you did GREAT!!! Good luck with your continued improvement! But top 10 is IMPRESSIVE.
