Run
Comments: I need to figure out were to begin in the pack...back? middle? or front? I started off fine, but going through the zoo was a little tight at times, and I had a hard time getting around people. I really slowed my pace down around mile 4-5. It was flat streets so I should have kept my pace up. The last 1.2, I picked up my pace after looking at my watch. I just wanted to be under one hour...didn't happen. I'm disappointed in my run. I know I can do better. It was a gorgeous morning and I never felt hot or uncomfortable. I should have pushed harder. Next time... What would you do differently?: Not slow down so much. Also, run my own race and not worry about who passes me... Post race
Warm down: Walked over to the eats and treats station. Had some gatorade, hostess cupcakes (I love those things!), and a bagel. I looked around for dblack and kids, but couldn't find them. Went to the start line to see the 5K and 5K fun run begin. Saw a few neighbors. Then I walked home. What limited your ability to perform faster: I need more continual sleep!! Other than that, I just need to push harder. Event comments: It was a well organized race. The fact that I was able to walk to it was a bonus. Parking was crowded. Last updated: 2007-03-23 12:00 AM

I begam waking up around 4am. Finally got out of bed at 5:30am. Ate half a banana, some peanut butter crackers and drank some water. I was feeling a little tired, but headed out the door around 6:05am. The race was only 1.5 miles from my house so I walked and jogged a little to warm up. It was really nice out...dark, but nice.
I walked around. Didn't see anyone I recognized. Did some stretching and lined up in the back half of the start.
