Comments:

Ran with a friend from work and another runner who had just finished the Ottawa Marathon last weekend! So this was just a jog in the park for her. She did help us a lot with pacing and giving tips on form etc, so that was great! I didn't go all out, because I am saving that for triathlons.
What would you do differently?:

This wasn't a serious race for me, but if it was, I wouldn't have run the whole way with other people. I probably could have gone a little faster, which is nice to know, but that wasn't my goal for today. Had lots of fun!!!!

Warm down:

Stretching, socializing, ate protein bar and drank water ++

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Was out late last night and also decided to stick with my friends running through the race.
