Ok this was not really in the plan I was hoping for a nice light 10k by the river but no one wanted to join me.. Kristen sent me an email about this late last night so I figured i will go do this run and then  I can swing up to my parents place and pick some Raspberries.  the bad thing is I went swiming at the lake did about 8 laps around the buoys, and had a DQ for a treat on the way home. I really did not eat the right meals before I do a run like this

So I did the walk up sign up and found Kristen, talked for a bit she was doing the 10K and then the 5K  Me just the 10k was good enough.  This is a nice flat course there is a nice little up about 2 1/2 mile mark before the turn around to go back towards the finish and one little up before the finish. It was nice that i grew up only about 4 miles from the route and knew the area.  

Well I took off first mile 7:50 min spit..  was I running that fast felt like a good pace ( I spoke to soon).  2nd mile 15:40 Ok did the first 2 in under a 8 min miles... feeling the humidity now and the DQ from last night and started to slow up the pace just to get breathing under control..   hit the three mile marker looked a watch looking good for a PR..  four a five mile marker a blur only thing on my mind was getting to the water station getting two cups and walking to get them in me..  then go..   Kristen passed me with about 3/4 mile but did not get to far ahead of me only by 8 seconds at the finish.  

Got a PR for a 10K 50:06 my watch said 49:59.  at a 8:04 Mile pace..  

Have a great Labor Day
