Comments:

I ran with my friend Mary again. She tends to take it out pretty fast but I really wanted to stay with her. I felt pretty good but not as good as the Clam fest. I started to slip around mile 4 but just held my own pace and kept going. Just before 5, I passed my brother. He is injured so I felt bad for him. I slowly but surely caught up to Mary. I did pretty well on the hills. She pulled away with a 5 sec. lead at the end but I am THRILLED with my time. I wanted to go under 45 and I almost went under 43 instead.
What would you do differently?:

take it out a bit slower.
