It went well.  I felt strong the whole way through, though would have liked to go faster.  had a friend who wasn't feeling well and, as we had decided to run the race together, stuck with her until mile 8.  By then, i was starting to wear down a bit and the biggest two hills came, but overall, I still felt very strong.

Now i plan to go back to 5Ks using the training plan Sasha recommended.  I'll look for a 5K in late Nov (Turkey Trot anyone) to test out my training.  I'll keep working on that until spring, then start training for longer distances faster and see if ultimately i can take a BUNCH of time off the Army Ten Miler next year (Lord willing).

Today the new training plan went into effect.  I'm surprised at how hard it is to try to run at a 10 min per mile pace.  I know Sasha said it would be a frustrating 6-7 wks...i hope it gets a little easier before that.  

Had too much liquid before my run, so that made me feel "sloshy" and a little nauseated.

should i be running this hard every day? Should i be stopping less?

i find myself wondering if and how to do a warmup.

Not sure how many total stops; tracking wasn't as accurate today for some reason. I think about 7.

food consumption fine today--no nausea.

Saw 4 deer -- 2 mommas and 2 fawns... :)
