9.5 in the morning.

I also did a 4.6 mile tempo run in the evening. This was a pretty hilly route going around campus. I started out going up hill at about 7minute pace then ran the last three miles at around 5:40/mile (downhill). My total time was 28:25.

I didn't have high expectation for this race. I haven't been feeling great, I've been badly dehydrated all the time. Plus, I've been sick and had limited speed work. I felt that a good result would be anything under 17 minutes. I got up at 6:20am and ran over to downtown. When I got there I felt very dehydrated and my legs felt dead. I knew I needed to warmup alot more, but I didn't want to sweat too much. I looked around and saw alot of fit looking people in singlets doing strides and decided that it was going to be tough for me to win today.

When the race started my legs felt extremely weak, but I went to the front of the pack anyway (anyone who has raced me knows I'm not shy about leading) I started to easily pull away. I got to a half mile in 2:50 then started to pick it up slightly. I started to feel much better after I got about a mile in. I kept trying to push my pace faster but it was hard with no competition. The first mile mark was off, but mile 2 was 11:00 indicated that I had sped up a little since the start. When I came into the finish, they were just starting the 10K, coming right at me. There was plenty of space for me to get by, but I was disctracted and didn't finish quite as hard as I could have. I wasn't really tired at then end, but still quite dehydrated. I was very happy to have won, got under 17 and also had no pain in my glute from running hard.

I ran the course again as a cool down, then ran home.
