Run for autism awareness 9/27/2008

Coming in to this race my main objective was to beat my 5k pr of 20:40. I was feeling pretty good. My first mile was way to fast, but stayed in contact with the other runners until about mile 2. I slowly but surely was running out of gas. I am dead certain that if I would have started out slower I would have beaten my pr of 20:40. 5ks are all guts no glory. I am really starting to grow quite fond of them. They teach you so much about your body and how far you can push it. I love the saying by Steve Prefontaine "It is more than just a race". Anyway I finished with a 20:55. Can't scrutinize myself to much, just learn from it.
