It was cold and I was tired, so the first two miles counted as my warm up time. I felt really bad the first two miles. My right calf was tight and the fire that was in the area raised a little havoc on my breathing. Interesting enough I hit my splits pretty close on both miles.
The next two miles I started to settle into the race a little and by mile six I was feeling good enough that I ran a little faster split than I wanted. Mile eight trimmed my wings a little bit though and I got back to the 7 minute split average. I really started to feel better on mile 10, 11, and 12. I didn't train the way I wanted leading up to the race, because of all the activities the last month, but it was fun to run and I could see how it would be very fast if I focused on running through the summer.
