Yeah! A friend of mine and I ran 8 before the race. we ran around my neighborhood and then ran the mile to the race. She was super nervous and now that the race is over I think she wishes she would not have ran the 7 before. but my goals was to do my 5k under 30 (not break my old record b/c it was unreasonable for my fitness right now) and to do my long run. I like this race b/c they give you sandwiches and bagels and fruit afterwards. Plus the money goes to the trouble teen high school and boy do they need it! The tshirt sucks so I didn't get it this time.

 

Here are my splits

1:  10:14
2:  10:20
3:  10:04
4:  11:27--I said lets sloow down
5:  11:32
6:  10:14 and then that stopped working and I said screw it. hahah
7:   10:00
.96  10:08

Race

1:  8:52
2:  9:08
3:  9:10
.10  10:23

It is funny b/c she always kicks herself later b/c she walks. I'm like just slooow down...but in her head sloowing down is bad. Our other friend in our threesome placed 2nd in her AG...she is a speedster...I'm glad to be in the middle! LOL

Way to go April! Those are some impressive splits for AFTER running 8 miles! When is the half? You are going to kill it!
