It was one of my most consistent runs as well. The weather was perfect and course was pancake flat, so I didn't hit my wall around Mile 10, and just kept rolling.
Pace by Mile:
Mile Time
1 - 10:00 (jockeying for position with lots of people)
2 - 9:27
3 - 9:26
4 - 9:25
5 - 9:19
6 - 9:21
7 - 9:13
8 - 9:26
9 - 9:09
10 - 9:08
11 - 9:21
12 - 9:31
13 - 9:05
13.2 - 8:26 (My race was a little long, likely due to lots of weaving between people in the early miles.)

Have you run a race in Arkansas yet? If not I recommend the Little Rock Marathon / Half Marathon. Its a great event. Ill be doing the LR marathon for my 3rd time this year. I'm shooting for a Boston Qualifying time. not the easiest course for that but its doable.
