Didn't quite get in the ideal warm-up but nothing too rushed. Ran the last few minutes of it at steady state. A few drills. Delayed start because of the RNC but I don't think it was too distracting. KD made funna my old NB flats. She's probably justified; I look like a poor-ass runner.
As for the race; I'm pleased but not overjoyed. It felt like a harder effort than 2 weeks ago but a couple seconds off. Probably a lot more evenly-paced so that's good.
Tried to put space on DF and MN at every turn but they stayed on me until I put my biggest kick just before we went under the AC bldg. Convinced myself to keep running hard till it was over. My time indicates I need to sharpen up.
First time I've ever won an NLAA race. That's something. KD won a Timex! And then exchanged it for a female one with the guy next to us. That's co-operation fer ya.
Celebrated with a delicious omelet that CC made. Benson was excited to see me:o)
Now to go with the people I love the most for Sunday dinner.
