This time is according to my Garmin, not sure what the official chip time is yet. It's a 8:14 avg mile pace, about 1 min 5 sec slower per mile than my last 10K.  To be honest, it felt like a half marathon!  My lungs have cobwebs! Considering the 2.5 months I had to take off running, I'm pretty happy with these results.  I only had to stop and walk once around mile 5.6 (and it was due to stomach issues, NOT achilles issues woot woot!).  I was on pace to get my goal of ~49 mins until the stomach issues hit, so that makes me feel even better.  Now I'm just excited to get going on some real training.  I'll use some caution, but I think I'll be able to start picking it up, especially next week or the next.

Good job everyone!  It has been so good to see you all!

YAY! A great race with no pain and finishing strong. You looked so good when we caught you, and then you took off that last straight away, and I couldn't keep up with you! Nice job Brooke! Missed you on the cool down miles. Can't wait to see you kick some trash at Des News :)

What sort of stomach issues are we talking about, exactly? Could you please give us all a more precise medical description of what happened?

But, seriously, great job!

Nice job on the race! Best of luck to you with your "new" training after your injury. It is going to be a GREAT year.
