Charles Harris Run for Leukemia - Run10k

Good run. I was shooting for a 7 minute pace for the race and I was able to hit it. The weather was cold so it was difficult to get warmed up prior to race start. As soon as the gun went off, I warmed right up. I was able to settle into a nice pace right away. My first mile was 6:45. I felt good and was able to stay close to that pace for the whole race. The long down hill at mile marker 5 helped a lot as I was started to fatigue during the last mile.

I probably pushed a little too hard early in the race. My first and second mile was around 6:45. Don't need to go out that fast. I did not have any kick at all for the last quarter mile. I could see the finish line but I has zero juice in my legs to sprint to the finish. I was able to hold my pace...just could not go any faster. The next time I'll save a little bit earlier in the race so I have some kick at the end.

Nothing much. Walked around, drank water, etc.


Went out too fast. Pick up the training.


Great race. Some nice down hills. Good race to set a PR.
