Wasn't sure if I'd make the drive up to this race today. Yesterday after my run i started feeling a little pf in my left foot. Kind of came up out of the blue. But I wanted to try. So I got up there and started warming up. Luckily the race started 30 min later than I thought. Got in 3 miles prior to the gun, and that really helped. Took off at a 6:07 first mile and then settled into a pretty even pace for the last 5.2. They were around 6:17-6:20. I was really wheezy the whole race. Not sure if that affected anything but it was annoying. 6:07, 6:20, 6:18, 6:17, 6:20, 6:19 , 5:35 (last .25=) It was 4 sec slower per mile than mcmillan predicted off of the 5 miler two weeks ago, but given that I almost couldn't go, I'm ok. But it is 22 sec slower than last year. crap - 39:02 6:15 ave
