Comments:

My goal had been to run at a 8:40 pace and maybe even 8:30 but I didn't really do the prep for that. So my husband and I decided to run together and have a fun, relaxing race. The course was really crowded with people so it was hard to get the pace established that we wanted. We ended up running negative splits b/c of the congestion. The pace was well within our current fitness level and we finished the race together holding hands across the finish. Awww - isn't the sweet. :-)
What would you do differently?:

Nothing - this race was for fun during my down time. Had a great time running with my husband.
