May 2nd 2009,

Today I ran the N8k @ Palmer College. For the second year in a row I was second place but I did my goal of running under 28min. with a finish time of 27:53. I was able to run my last mile(ish) (8k is 4.98 miles, not exactly 5) in 5:20 which the downhill to the finish was nice. Overall I was happy with the race the only thing I noticed was I fell apart a little bit in the middle of the race when there were a few more hills which is something I need to work on a little bit. It got a cool prize for getting second place as well. I got a Sansa 2gb mp3 player (it's basically PC's ipod nano) so that was pretty sweet.
