Run
Comments: I was very thirsty. I forgot to get some sports drink for the trip down and ended up drinking a diet soda. I hate water! I did not have any problems lifting my knee during the race. I was able to easily clear the ground with each step. What an improvement! And having the GPS watch made a big difference as it gave me visual feedback on how well I was doing. When I felt I was running slow, I'd check my watch and see that I was actually running faster than I thought, which encouraged me to keep it up and even push myself to run a little faster. What would you do differently?: Nothing! It was my best run ever!!! Post race
Warm down: Just walked around and waited for the official race results. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not my hips or knee, but rather just running out of breath. I slowed to a walk around mile 1.5 for about a dozen steps, then ran again until about mile 2.5, where I walked for 100 steps. I ran again until about mile 3.4 and walked for about six steps, and then ran again. Event comments: My best race ever! I feel really, really good about this race! My knee doesn't hurt, and my hips hurt only a little bit! Last updated: 2014-11-13 12:00 AM

Waited inside the high school where it was warm.
Just did some high knee lifts and took 800mg Ibuprofen about a half hour before the race began.
