Comments:

I did my inhaler a couple times.

Dick and Rick Hoyt showed up..they had all the wheelchair athletes (lots of two person teams maybe 7?)start in the front which blocked everyone in. Then every made a wrong turn..it was strange.

I found my pace and just kept going. I felt okay breathing wise, pushing as hard as I could. Mind was pretty good with only a couple negative thoughts here and there. Testing when I'm slow is a struggle at times for me less running than cycling as I've seen how fast I can lose run speed but I know it will come back.

Marianne was slowly making the gap between us farther...from our runs together lately I know she is faster than I am.

Tried picking up the pace last mile..more effort but not faster. Pushed hard to finish.

Mile 1 9:16
Mile 2 9:40
Mile 3 9:51
Last .16 1:17 or 8:10 m/m...sweet!
What would you do differently?:

I think I did the best I could today given my fitness..it was fun running with Marianne...we will do more of these...great workout.

Sponsored by a branch of my Y. They had fun things for kids to do if one parent did the race. Good cause!
