I took it easy for the 1st 5-6 miles. My last 6 miles were faster than the first, which is what I wanted to do.

Warm down:

stretching and walking

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Working night shift prevents me sometimes from training the way I want. I did have a PR I finished last year at 2:53
