Comments:

I started off too fast for me which caused me to hit the wall in the heat!
My fist mile was 8:10 which is faster that what I normally run.

What would you do differently?:

Start at a slower pace.

Warm down:

Drank a couple of Cokes and had some water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I haven't been running too well the last few times out.
