Signed up for this one in the spring and I just haven't done my long runs to get ready for it.  Wasn't sure I was going to do it until the morning.  Decided to take my medicine and do the race.  Beatuful day for a run.  I started behind the 4:30 pace group and just took it easy.  I caught up with the 4:00 group but at 21 my knees started to protest.  I lost about 10 min in the last 5.2 due to stretching and a little walking.  

All in all, it wasn't as bad as I thought.  I made it home by noon for work.  

Well run and pretty well supported race.  Liked the little post race jackets and food boxes from fitful.com.  It is a very challenging course with hills everywhere.  At least the last half mile was flat...

.what an outstanding day for a run -- 6.5 around town.  different route to shake things up a bit.  felt good after several days recovery.  really felt good enough to run on Wednesday but I burnt the cr@p out of my hand right before leaving.  It was throbbing too much to consider running with it.  then halloween then football game.  too many excuses. but today was good :)
