Notes
Yikes! I learned my lesson about pace today. I started this run off WAY too fast. First time I've ever done that. I'm usually great about my pace. I just came off of a 3 day break - oops - and I may have let myself forget to keep it easy and even. It was killing me about 2.5-3 miles in, however I slowed wayyy down (resulting in my lovely 10 and 1/2 minute pace...) for the last mile or 2 and it was much better (although still grueling). Not to mention there are about 3 different 200-300 foot low grade hills on the last mile of the run. Lots of fun after already running 5!
Overall, nice to finish the full 5 and 1/2 but I should have known better than to start out as fast as I did.
Drank 10 ounces apple juice and had an english muffin about 30-40 minutes before run. Carried a 16 ounce Poland Spring, drank the whole thing by the time I finished.
