Run
Comments: good run. not as fast as I was hoping, but made my sub :30 goal (barely). humbling to have a girl pass me at 1.5 miles pushing a jogging stroller, but I paced off of her for the next 1.5mi and passed her around mile 3. the heat and the rolling hills were definitely a factor in slowing down my pace What would you do differently?: train more hills - - but I should do that anyway Post race
Warm down: thought I had a good shot of placing in my AG, so I decided to hang around. knowing the awards ceremony wouldn't be for awhile, I decided to get in a few more miles (2). since I wasn't getting my "long" run in this week, running a total of 7 miles with 4 at race pace seemed like a good day What limited your ability to perform faster: hills and heat. Saturday (the day before) was not as hot at 7am as it was on this day Event comments: great way to celebrate Father's Day and probably the start of a new tradition for me. the t-shirt was awesomely cheesy.

Banana and a cup of coffee at home, headed off to the race site with plenty of time
since it was a short race and I had time, decided to run an easy mile (9:09) before the race and then do some stretching. glad that I didn't have any tightness in my left hammy like I typically seem to do
