Good for you in making the race your own ... there is something about racing with other people that truly tests the progress made in training.  That being said, 10k is a heckuva training run !

Keep at it and the 5k runners next year will be attempting to pace you as you go on to complete the 1/2 Mary!

Great job, Joann!  I have a lot of trouble fighting the urge to haul it with all the other runners at the start too.  Did you ever think when you first started all this madness that your "training run" would be a 10k?  Glad to see you and Rob out there again.  If I wouldn't have worked this morning, I'd have been out there with ya'll.
