Bed 1030pm. Up 230 am to no daughter at home after date.  So yah concerned.  Tried to fall back to sleep.  Left house 415 am.  Arrived 440 am.  Ran to bus.   Bus just left but 100 runners waiting. So we stood there until 535 am.  Up to top 6 am.  Chatted with Brooke and Brenda.   Cold up top.  Wore my long sleeve for two miles then wrapped it around my waist.  Felt good to brace my back.  Ran surprisingly well.  Though  I saw three woman in front of me last two miles.  One of them ( I did not think one of them was my age- 54)  was over 50.  51 to be exact.   I was slow at start not knowing what my plan was to race or not.  I was 15 seconds behind start.   On  the forth of July  freedom 10k my first  nearly all uphill mile was 7:23.  Here it was downhill and 7:34 (though could be loss of service)  At that point I decided to test myself and just pushed myself to be at a good 7-730 pace.  And the more I ran the better I felt at that pace and easier to do even with the roller coaster hills.  Pretty excited. 1:34:54. 
miles :7:34/7:24/7:14/7:15/7:06/7:19/7:19/7:13/7:08/7:27/7:19/7:37/7:14.pace for mile 13 which was 0.96 miles. (6:56).  The usual issue is hobble creek losing reception. Hobble creek have notorious for watches reading 12.9 miles.    I am gonna say it is on. Lol.  Avg 7:15!!!  (If short avg 7:19).  Both to me are great.  Not sure how I had it on me.  Took one gu before mile 6.  Alternated one or two sips of water with Gatorade the next station. Just two sips. And put water on my head.  Massage at finish.  Maglebys French toast too.  And a creamie!   Brooke did well. 1:48!  She'll get her sun 3 one day ! 
jogged to car.  Jogged to bus.  Jogged two minutes up top.  Adding on 0.9 miles
