Well, the race wasn't fast but it's done. With how little I've been running and the rising pollen count I set a modest goal averaging a sub-9 min mile, and did. Barely. It was a very small field so I was running on my own most of the way; didn't really feel like a race. This is how small the field was: I was 5th overall and 3rd among girls/women, despite being so slow. But it was a beautiful morning and I'm glad I ran.
