walked for a few minutes around mile 5. started out sort of fast (for me). start of run is always on auto pilot, it's when that turns off around mile 4 that it gets hard. short hill up Congress bridge was no fun , expecially second time.
had some water and two cups of nasty banana pure sport stuff.
bring own drink.
What would you do differently?:

Just gotta keep going.
