Comments: A perfect day for a race. And things went really well. It was a small race with most people doing the 5k so I knew I would be bringing up the rear, but decided I wasn't going to let it bother me today. I was just out for a nice training run. My goal 10k race is in 4 weeks so this was a bit of a test to see how that race might go. Hopefully it goes as well as this one did. I set my Garmin for 8/2 run/walk intervals and that turned out to be a good idea. I was hoping to keep the run intervals around 11:15-11:30 pace, most of them were closer to 11:00 but they didn't feel fast. The 2 minute walks were just enough to get my HR back down a little although I never really felt like it was too high. I didn't wear my HRM - kind of wish I had. Overall it was a great morning and a great race. What would you do differently?: Nothing - I got pretty much the result I wanted and the run felt good.  Post race
Warm down: Had some water and part of a Zone bar. Waited around for the attendance prizes (I won a water bottle), then headed home for a nap:). Last updated: 2012-09-04 12:00 AM

I had pretty much taken the last 3 days off (easy walk on Saturday) due to a sore hamstring. It was feeling good this morning though so I hoped it wouldn't affect my race - turned out it didn't bother me at all. Had some oatmeal and Gatorade then headed out to the race.
Mad dash to and from the porta-potties just as the race was getting ready to start.
