Comments:

This was the furthest I have run since, oh, I don't know, maybe May? I was pretty pleased with my time. I'm not in peak running shape yet. I was really just hoping to get under 55 minutes and I did pretty well with that I think!
What would you do differently?:

Maybe train more. Maybe go to the park once before I went to run in it so I had an idea of what to expect.

Warm down:

Walked around kind of feeling like I was going to puke. Looked for water - couldn't find any! Settled on Sierra Mist, which wasn't bad but just not as satisfying when you're thirsty. :(

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training. I also did get a little warm, but not too bad.
