Thanks Jim! So say if I do a longer warmup, then it is okay to really race the 10K? Big grin

The 14 miler the next day would be good for me but it will be like taking medicine. Tongue

I don't know where you got the impression I am stubborn! Big grin

Jim, you will be pleased to hear that I did manage to do a 3 mile warmup, and the only reason was because Mr. Forward couldn't get out of bed and go along, so I wasn't delayed by wrangling him along (the thing that would have made a 3 mile warmup unrealistic, not my disinclination to run that far first Roll eyes

) Then I just trained through the race, instead of racing it, I even walked through the water stops! I need to make sure that I get to the Boston starting line fit and not injured. I know that seems really wimpy, but I am ramping up my mileage and am running right now on tight tired legs. Woohooo, I got 1st place in my division anyhow! Smile

I did a nice comfy 9 mile cooldown after that. Thanks for all your advice.
