I had a damn good race! Nailed the pace I wanted to, generated negative splits the entire way (see above), and started picking people off left and right from about mile 8 on.

This was MY day to run that race!

This was just a great race for me. At the end, I felt like I could've gone on for another mile or two. I pushed it just hard enough to feel really good about my performance but not so much that I hurt myself. I think chasing two wonderful pairs of female legs towards the end of the race really helped out the pace on the final mile, too... ;)

I nailed this race - had a GREAT morning and a great run! Now I get to move the rest of my stuff into my new apartment, but not until after my shower and snooze!
