Good run at Two Rivers this morning. I'm a little ticked at myself for losing focus in mile 2 and slipping to a 7:50 mile, but once I locked back in, I actually negative split a 10K, which I think is a first for me. No chip time, so results are gonna take a while, I suspect, but Garmin time was 47:24, which is my best 10K in a while. I was hoping for top 10 AG and top 100 overall and got both. One of those runs where I substituted toughness for lack of speed. Which, come to think of it, applies to any run where I do semi-well, because speed ain't part of my game.

Gun time was 47:26. I got to the line within five seconds of the gun, I think, but then again I'm not entirely certain where the finish was. I'll stick with the Garmin time.
