Not sure if I was ready to race today but glad I had planned on having Jay take Paula and my sister up to the start so I could not back out.   We warmed up for 1.4 miles and ran into Julie, Michelle, Teena and Smooth.   

We started pretty fast, my first two miles were sub 7's and I was feeling great.  They did not have the water station set up at the 1/2 way point and I was needing water very badly but was still feeling good.   I felt great until the 5 mile mark and started to really feel the fatigue in my legs.  Took a drink and walked through the water stop and then picked back up.   I had been debating whether or not my lack of kick at the end is physical or mental and today it was physical.   Mentally I was trying to kick the last stretch but physically the legs would not go.   My splits were:

6:49

6:51

7:12

7:06

7:13

7:37

1:31 for the last .2

I am very happy with my time of 44:20.  This is a PR for me and a 4 min improvement over last years DesNews 10K.   I am more tired that I expected afterwards and ended up not adding on more mileage.   I think all the travel the last 6 wks is taking its toll but there is no end in sight.

Happy Running!
