Firecracker 10k

On July 4th, I ran the Firecracker 10k on the Grand Fork Greenway. I started out hot, but cooled quickly. I don't know why, but I seem to forget race strategy every time I run a race in Grand Forks. As long as I'm in a different town, I pace myself like I should, but in Grand Forks I seem to forget pacing. My goal for The Ta Ta Cruisade is to run within myself the entire run. It was also a little hotter than I am used to running. The new Runner's World magazine had several articles about running in warmer climates. Mental notes were taken.
