Once more to the races

The event: St. Paddy's Day race along the lakefront of Chicago.  I've signed up for the 8K again.
Last years time: 44:28.
Of course, last year, I ran the first mile in 9:30, and almost swore a blue streak when I saw the time at the first mile clock.  Way too fast, to early. 
This time, I'd like to plod along at 11 minutes paces, for the first two miles.
Also: after a short "training" run yesterday (more of an OH MY GOD IT'S TOO EARLY TO RUN) I have decided to spare myself the sharp pains in the instep, and wear the Sketchers GoRun shoes instead of my pair of Brooks.
Midfoot strike now and forever.
