Notes
Nicole ran with me counting the race as her weekly long run. Her pacing was a huge help and I don't think I would have made my goal of 1:30:00 without her. Great weather -- nice and cool with a slight breeze. I felt great through the first 5 miles. Fitness-wise, I felt fine through 11 miles, but after 10 miles my hips and calves started to lock up. In the last 400m, the finish line seemed very far away and it looked like I was cutting it closer to my goal than the splits had shown thus far. Overall, I'm very happy with the result. Now I will transition to longer mile runs and less speed work as I train for the Detroit Free Press Marathon in October.
