Keeping pace

Today's five-miler was a good one as I ran it under the 11-min. pace. I'd like to make sure that I stick to a bpm of 170 in the latter miles of the race. That should keep me at a comfortable pace where I can finish it.
I REALLY have to keep my pace down during the first mile as adrenaline and the runners around me will push the pace. Emotions can definitely mess with discipline. I'll need my emotional reserves the last couple miles for sure.

Been running without a shirt the last couple of times out. Definitely thinking about running without a shirt on race day. I don't get as hot but risk exposure to the sun for close to two hours. We'll see what the temperature and forecast will be that Sunday. I'm hoping for 60-degrees and cloudy.
