Comments:

There were so many people doing this, 16,000 it said on the news. There really wasn't much room to stop and walk so I just kept going. My Nike+ kept in constant check with my time and distance. It was totally accurate! My faster mile was 11:04 which for me is brilliant! I just ecstatic with this result, it's really my best yet.
What would you do differently?:

Sprint a little more.
Post race
Warm down:

Walking 10 blocks to meet up with my other 3 friends to Starbucks to meet my husband who was driving us all home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just experience. Need to do more sprinting to build up my endurance.

Event comments:

Will do this again next year for sure and try to beat that time by at least 5 minutes :)
