Comments:

Vinette set the pace and it was faster than I would have done on my own today. I regret to admit that I have been "comfort" running and not pushing myself.

What would you do differently?:

Pin my green feather boa to my shirt. I had it wrapped around my neck and it felt hot.

Warm down:

I was bad, no warm down. I just walked to the area of the drinks and goodies. Had a sparkling water and a yogurt drink. After finishing the yogurt drink, I looked at the label...46g sugar!!!! Too much!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I was limited by not having pushed myself harder during my training. I have been keeping my runs "comfortable". I have misplaced the elastic strap for HRM, I need to locate that. Using the HRM, kept me more disciplined.

Event comments:

It was a super sunny day--Just gorgeous. The view of Puget Sound from the viaduct was awesome. I can't think of a better way to start the day than getting together with friends and running.
