Comments:

There were a lot of people lined up for the start - it was slow going for the first half-mile. Things finally opened up and I was able to pick up the pace. The course was nice and flat and clear of snow. I really suprised myself with my pace - much faster than I anticipated. I even had enough left at the end to kick it up a notch the last mile.

Warm down:

Walked around for a few minutes then a nice long stretch.

Wow!  You did a lot better than you expected...see...you underestimated yourself!  Less than a 10 minute mile on a 5 mile run! 

Great Job...you are ready now for a 10K!
