Comments:

Felt strong going out, felt very strong after the turn around. Got sore in the hips around mile 10. Ignored it, though...kept pace up. Could not kick at the finish, though. Chest tightened up when I tried to up the pace. Held original pace through finish line.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure...maybe stretch out the hips a bit more...although they always get sore when I run over 8 miles. Not sure what to do to counter that. Would also make sure to take some deep breaths before final kick, in hopes that my chest wouldn't tighten up.
