Subject: PR @ my 5k race today!!Ran in a local 5k today and set a PR by about 2 minutes! My final time was 26:50, and I'm normally 2 minutes higher than that. I'm a newbie runner, but this makes me feel great. 8:39/mile pace is great for me, and I'm thrilled with the progress I've made. My training miles have been going up the past few weeks, which I think helped. Had a GREAT finish kick and ran down and passed the target i picked out who was several folks ahead of me a few hundred yards out. all in all a great time. Now my friend is saying I need to get ready to do a half mary with her in April.....  |
