Comments:

I ended up running well, although I think I could have picked up another spot or two if I would have worked out better yesterday.

My racing flats have been giving me trouble since the marathon, but today they hit an all-time worst as I finished with a blood blister about 1 in^2 on the ball of my right foot. It was painful to walk for the rest of the day. It is definitely time to get new racing flats.
What would you do differently?:

Wear new racing flats. Work out better the day before.

Warm down:

I couldn't run because of my foot, so I stretched and relaxed with friends from PHHS.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Yesterday's workout.

Event comments:

A favorite race to do for fun every year. I'll be back again next year.
