First Race Since June

I ran my first race since the Lakestride 10k in June today. I wasn't really sure what to expect going into the race since it was at the end of my highest mileage week. The race was The Bridge Run in downtown Grand Rapids. It was sponsored by my running store so there were a lot of co-workers running as well. There was a 5k and 10 mile, I ran the 10. It was perfect weather for running, 55 and sunny. I only had just over a mile warm up so I felt a little stiff the first couple miles. I ran from start to finish with another local runner. We ran 5:52's the first 5 miles then picked up the pace a little averaging 5:42's the last 5 miles. I treated this run as a hard workout not a race but I took 3rd overall by .9 sec...should have sprinted. I did win $50 prize money and took 3rd overall in a field of apx. 700 people. 57:10 was my official time, a good end to the week.
