I have been averaging 4.5 miles 4 days a week, and recently added a loop one day a week that increases it to 5.2 miles.  The 10K, therefore, is the farthest I've run.  I decided to hold back and run slowly to make sure I was doing okay.  I turned a 1:02:50 official time (10:08\/mile) &mdash; it's just 3 minutes or so longer than twice my past 5K times so my pace was right on.  The competitive part of the race wasn't my strong suit: I came in 966 of 1,258 overall and 66th of 77 other runners in my age group.  I finished with lots of energy to spare so I could have run it a bit faster, although I probably wouldn't have moved up much in ranking even if I did.  I also felt very good afterward: not short on energy, but also not sore at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning I ran the The Medved Lilac 10K, barefoot-as-usual.
