Just for full disclosure, it was on the UVA track so nice, flat, springy surface. My knees were not up to road running so the track gave me the ability to do the distance, work on techniques, and get used to running in the cold without the extra pain of concrete. I do still plan on running where there are more hills and course variation, but it's still kinda neat to run farther than I ever have in my life.
Just for the nerds out there, I'm including a graph of my HR & pace. I don't think my pace varied all that much, but then again, I know I stayed in the exact same lane on the track and the GPS map has my path of ranging quite a bit from side to side. Therefore, I take it all with a grain of salt, but I do believe the pace average and that I sprinted at the very end.

Cool stuff isn't it?! I'm a bit surprised that your HR was that high. I thought I was just kinda freaky for mine staying up there.
To help with the pace reading you can adjust a pace setting in the 305 that may help even it out a bit. I have notice that the GPS point reading measurements tend to be pretty jittery though.
Great job with the run. That's a great accomplishment that can only be rewarded with ice cream and chocolate :)
