I'm not sure how I feel about the race. In a nut shell I didn't feel great but I didn't feel terrible... just a little off. I had to stop to use the bathroom which is always annoying. I went inro the race knowing I wasn't prepared to run a PR but I did want to run strong and feel good. I ran just OK. The last 4 miles were torcher!! I had to talk myself through every step. I wanted to walk so bad but didn't so I guess that is a bonus. This was good mental preparation for the marathon.
Splits 8:38, 8:20, 8:03, 8:27, 8:20, 7:53, 7:54, 8:10, 8:22, 8:44, 9:17, 8:40, 9:07
I stopped to go to the bathroom around mile 5.5 so you can see for 2-3 miles afterwards I was trying to make up some time but then I just burned out at the end. Oh well... live and learn.
