Comments: This run went great! Wow! A highlight was coming up to a turn around mile 4. There was music and the wind blew golden leaves down on the course with sunlight making them glow. It was beautiful. mile 1-9:46 mile 2-10:12 mile 3-10:26 mile 4-10:09 the 0.97-8:59 What would you do differently?: The only thing would be to remember my sunglasses. Post race
Warm down: Walk, drink, eat. Look for port a potty. Look for Richard. What limited your ability to perform faster: lung capacity? Event comments: Last year's time: 55:48 compared to 49:32 this year. pace decrease from 11:13 to 9:58!! I shaved off more than 6 minutes! HOLY COW! I guess losing 30 lbs plus the olympic tri has made a difference! Maybe I need to set higher goals... I just wanted to get under an 11:00 min mile for the race. Well, I did! Richard improved from 39:14 to 38:23. Almost a minute improvement. Last updated: 2006-09-28 12:00 AM

Get up, have oatmeal. Grab stuff and drive to downtown. There was a beautiful orange-purply sunrise. Get packets. This time I didn't lose my wallet! Then we went back to the car to drop stuff off.
Walked up to the start. Watched the marathoners off. Ran up and down the block. Streched. Prayed. Lined up. Chatted nervously with another participant.
