Northern Lakes 10 Mile Race - May 31, 2008

Ran my first 10 mile race around Bald Eagle Lake.  Wasn't sure how my legs would respond as I haven't run two races so close together before - particularly after a marathon.  With Fargo just two weeks behind me I decided to run a decent pace but not kill myself.  I ran a 7:40 pace the first few miles and then began to push the pace as my legs felt pretty good.  Ran a 7:25 pace for most of the 2nd half of the race with the final mile at 7:12.  I finished 25th overall among 197 runners and 3rd in my age group of 22 runners.  I really enjoyed the race and have decided to enter other small local races of varying distances.
