No run today. A little under the weather, plus I'm backing off just a tad for my first 10K race in Conway on Saturday.

My first 10K on the road. Overall went very well. Warmed up for a mile at the Conway High track; warming up was needed, because it was very cool and windy (wish marathon day had been this cool). Plan was to run 8:00 miles. Had a little bad patch midway through and walked 100 yards or so, but was able to resume 8:00 pace at that point. I had hoped to run around 52 minutes, turned out I finished in 51:27 even with walking. Fourteenth in my division, 129th overall.
