Sounds like an off day. It happens. I've had days where 6 is excruciating and days where 10 is just warming up.
I dunno, I always feel like crap on mile 5-6 and then it gets way better. I think its my body warming up to the idea of running.
I pop a few Advil an hour before I run longer distances and that seems to help a lot with the usual joint-related ouchies.
And our subject matter expert here is correct... bananas are the cure-all for runners. They taste good even on the way back up.
