I havent run a stand alone 5K in about a year. Last time I ran a 5k was last summer and I set a PR at 30:58. I have lost more weight since then and increased my training so I new I wanted to set a PR and go sub 30. It was hot out but I have run this course before so I new where I was at all times. I started out a little too fast and my first mile split was 8:30 and my next mile split was 9:00. I finished strong and new I was sub 30 and made the last 200 sprint to the finish to go sub 28mins.

Nothing, I had a great race and met all of my expectations. Continue to train and I will get faster.

grabbed a bag of ice and put it over my head while I drank some gatorade and water. Waited for about 4 minutes until my girlfriend and friend crossed the finish line and then we went to get some post race food and hung out on the deck of the Rusty Rudder over looking the bay. Felt good post race and enjoyed the view and food from the After party.


I will get faster but I guess work on speed intervals.


I go on vacation to Dewey Beach, DE the same week every year and every year I try and do a Seven Sisters running race while on vacation. The organization puts on a class act race and draws alot of support from the community and they are always a good time. I absolutely love finishing a race and partying on the water with some amazing post race food and this race certainly does that. I will be back every year I can and I highly recommend one of this series races if you are every down the Delaware shore during the summer.
