Comments:

My first 10K, actually my first run over 5 miles EVER. Really hurt after 5 miles but kept going. Took 3 walking steps at mile 6 and two guys started yelling at me that I could do it which I did and REALLY appreciated.
What would you do differently?:

With a month of total focus on the run after the John Tanner Tri in April I did everything I could. I am very pleased actually.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched and lots of water. Don't care for stale bread - even after a race!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training, training, training...

Event comments:

Liked it a lot - will do again next year.
