Comments:

the run was good, in the middle of the race there were slight hills i walked up them. then decided to walk/run up the hills. the last two miles i ran 90% of
What would you do differently?:

i need to stretch more, and need to get new shoes, i'm way over due, but didn't want to get them right befor this race. now i need to work on getting faster. at least to a 10 min/mile pace thats my goal
