10K Race Today

I ran the 10K in 45:14. I'm happy with that result. I had my doubts this morning whether I could run a good race. I felt like I was up for most of night and still wasn't feeling all that good. Yet I was determined to make it the best effort I could. I ran with some really good runners today. My pace was steady and the only time I hit the wall was with about a half mile to go. It might have cost me a sub-45 minute finish. I can't get greedy here and I'm satisfied with my run. The weather was perfect. It had to have been 50 degrees in New York City. It is the first week in January after all. In 2 weeks I'll be back in Central Park running in the Manhattan Half Marathon. A result like today gives me good morale.
