At about mile 10 my quads started to get real sore and real tight, by mile 11 I was doing the "old man" shuffle and saw the 2hour pace runner pass me.  Though I didn't reach my goal of finishing in under 2 hours, I got pretty darn close.  I know with a little better training, longer distances, and quad strength improvement I'll finish under two hours next year.

Now, I have to repair my body for the 50 minute criterium I signed up for tomorrow.
