The company I work for (Northwestern Mutual) holds a 5 and 10k race and 1 mile walk during our Annual meeting. There were about 7500 participants which is pretty cool. My plan was to run a nice easy race but when you start with that many people its kinda of hard to hold back. I was thinking around and 8:40 pace, but first mile was 8:10 with traffic and second was 7:49. That's when the clouds parted and the sun was beating down. Ended up walking through the water stations but managed 8:50 paces for the last 2 miles and 7:48. Overall pleased with the run. Now on to a day of meetings and the Milwaukee Zoo tonight.
