tubesoxrock and I ran the Run Wild Sports 5k yesterday. Well, she scraped off the backs of her heels while I ran it.
I started a little further back than was prudent and thus spent the first mile weaving in and out of people. The wasn't a fast race for me although I was trying to push hard. It just wasn't as fast as it felt.
Splits were 9:11, 9:13 and 9:56 (no 3 mile marker, so 8:58 pace for the last mile).
