First 5 mile race! (Read 741 times)


Insert witty title here

    This morning I ran my longest race to date, 5 miles. I've run 5 miles several times, but this was the first time doing it with a piece of paper pinned to my shirt. I'll save you all the details (they're on my blog if anyone really wants to know), but I beat my goal of 50:00 and my previous best 5 mile time (non-race) of 46:58. Somehow this morning I finished in 42:58 (Gun time) or 42:50 (Garmin time)! I missed 5th place in my age group by less than a minute, but I am ecstatic about my time! Of course now I've set the bar fairly high (for me) for my next 5 mile race on Thanksgiving Day.

      On the road again...

        Great job! Nothing like killing your old records, is there?

        I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.
