 Run
Comments: I came in 5th overall female and 2nd in my age group. I started out fast but I felt really good. My first six miles I felt really strong. Mile 6-9 was a bit of struggle but I just kept looking ahead and kept telling myself to keep going. At mile 10 I told myself to forget about the 10 miles I just ran and pretend I was running a 5 km. Mile 12-13 was hard but I felt stronger on the last mile. I am EXTREMELY please with my race today. I PR'd by 3 and half minutes! For me...that's huge. My next goal is run under a 1:30 half!! What would you do differently?: Slow down at the beginning...  Post race
Warm down: I cooled down with my friend Andrea. We ran 4 additional miles out on the course to cheer on Scott and our friends who were doing the FULL marathon! Event comments: Yet again this was a great race. We have a blast every year we come! Last updated: 2008-07-21 12:00 AM

Woke up around 5:15am, jumped in shower and then had breakfast with Scott, Wes, Kelly, Terry and Amber. I drank two cups of coffe and had a bagel with grape jelly and half of a Clif Bar. Scott's been wanting a new grill for Christmas so I got online and ordered that online before we left for the start line.
Walked to the start line and found some friends from Wilmington and chatted. I should have warmed up but didn't.
