-Results
not bad, i did my best today on the run day ....i got intimidated initially by the seeing the sheer number of people at the START LINE and started very fast [around 8 min/mile] which i shouldn't have :), what was i thinking that i'll beat them all...hell no ] anyways very soon realized that i am behind 100, 200, 300 and more fellow runners and my legs were hurting when i decided to go back to my normal pace of around 9 min/mile.

dude you deserve a tiny (if not big) celebration thrown from our side for this...:-)..Mainly because now you wont be standing arms akimbo and sucked in tummy, which I think you never needed so much anyway IMO....But i propose a toast and bottoms up for this during our GC trip ...:)
cheers,
DJ..
