It was a hot day today for the 2008 Proud to Run 10K. Temps were in the 70's at the start, and got up to 80 at the end.
I started well, but I knew I was fast as usual. The first 5K were not too bad. Mile 3 was the beginning of the stuggle. I wasn't hydrated enough, and I felt it. The last half was a series of running and walking.
I wasn't too thrilled with the spaces between the water stations. I just felt I was always looking for water. Maybe they were spaced right...I just felt a need for water.
I was tired in the last 2 miles. My goal was to finish around 1:10. I finished in 1:16:39. Considering the heat, I was fine with that time.
All the time I ran thisrace, my thought was..."I should have run the 5K."
Still I'm glad I got this run in. My left IT Band is a bit sore, but not as bad as it has been.
