Making the Step up to 10ks

So tomorrow will mark the longest race I have attempted to date: the 10,000 meters, 10k, 6.2 mile run. I'm just so tired of the 5K; I always cruise the first mile, push the second mile, and inevitable crash the third mile. Cross Country solidified the monotony of this race, and the unfortunate failure of my season provoked even more frustration with the old 3.1 mile sprint.  So tomorrow should be interesting. I know there is a lot of road between me an the finish line, so I'm hoping to go out no faster than 6:30 pace. I really don't want to crash in this race, and since whatever I do will be an instant PR, the stakes are very low, which feels good. I run best when I feel the least pressure. I look forward to toeing the line tomorrow for the first time in a while... I've been away from racing too long.
