Leprechaun Chase 10K

My first 10K of 2011 took place at the Strategic Air and Space Museum between Lincoln and Omaha. It started inside the hangar which was cool because you were able to stay warm before the race. When you exited you ran around a big plane and then around the front side of the museum. Then it was off to some grass and hills behind it before hooking up with the trails in Mahoney State Park. I did fairly well until the 4 to 5 mile mark and then started slowing down. I ran a 8:43 first mile and though for sure I would break my goal of 59:19. I was within a minute though so I was glad for that but I was hoping to never run over a hour in a 10K again!
