Congrats! I'm one of the 1% that's slower than you. My best 5-mile time is 3 minutes slower than yours, so GOOD JOB. You should have no problem breaking 50 minutes by your birthday. WooHoo!!

There is no such thing as slow.......and your only competition is to make yourself better.....so, if you just finished your 5 miles in record time, then you're doing a GREAT job of getting better.....

Keep it up......GOOD JOB.....

Neat goal, and you're very close.

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

Congrats!!

Up until last weekend it would have broken my five-mile PR, which stood at 54:33 for the past three years (turns out I don't run that many five-mile races). You'll be under 50 minutes in no time!

PRs:
5k: 30:30
4-mile: 37:19
10k: 1:00:13
Half Marathon: 2:20:08

Good job and keep up the good work.

Have realized to be successful you only have to toe the line against one person .... That would be yourself.

just tell yourself next race " Listen old man I am going to beat you (the 50:28 that you just posted)" can't contyrol/worry about what others can run.

Thanks again everyone, It is so nice to be able to run/jog again let alone break my own PR from 2006.

Everyone have a Great 4th of July weekend!

dude ... are these all just training runs... as noticed no races or prs in your log.

If you sign up for a race you will be down around 45:00 ... trust me!

Almost guaranteed to be true -- cause the crowd and excitement pulls you along just a tad quicker.......You really ought to sign up for a local race -- 5K or 5 Mile.......
