I am pretty happy about this race.  This is a 6 and 1/2 minute PR for me :)  I really want to see that 59:59 this year.  I have 2 more 10k's planned, so there is a possibility :)  The nailed foot was fine for the whole race and still is :)  I guess I had the perfect amount of time to heal.  Life is GOOD!!  

Now about the race... The first three miles were fine.  I felt strong and right on target for under a 10:30 pace.  My garmin died right before start time, so I had to ask another runner who I was passing what pace she was running.  I felt pretty good until the mile 4 marker.  I REALLY wanted this to be mile 5. I an not sure where I thought there was another mile in there, but I was pretty dejected at the sight of mile 4.  This mile was slower.  In mile 5, I got a bit of a second wind and started passing the people I wanted to pass.  In mile 6, they passed me back :(  All of my energy was spent by mile 6.  My legs were lead and not too happy to continue to run.  I did anyway.  I saw Michelle and the other speedies in the last 1/2 mile.  Michelle gave me the GREAT news that she WON!! :D

I ran 3+ miles on the river trail afterwords.

Congratulations on a PR! You are racing well. I am hoping to break 59:59 for a 10K this year too. We should push each other.
