So happy

It was race day today. My first race in 4 years of non running. I have been training hard for it and really wanted a PR. That would have required a run of under 30 min. I was hoping for a 29 min or maybe even a 28:30 at best.

27:11!!!!

Ran my ass off and it didn't feel like it all. I know I'll never make it to London but hell a 3 min reduction of my PR makes me one happy guy.

Thanks to all of you that gave me great advice. Apparently it worked.

Very nice! Now on to under 27:00!

The only difference
That I see
Is you are exactly the same
As you used to be

Congratulations! In your easy run post, I was thinking that if your easy run pace was right that you should be able to beat your 30 minute goal. Keep it up!

Congratulations, that's a heck of a chunk off your PR. Keep it rolling.

Yes, I do "run in this." So should you. The weather is never as bad as it seems from behind your office or car window.

Thanks everyone.

I was pretty happy taking 3 mins of a 5K. My next race is a 10K in September. I'm planning on setting a new PR there as well. Big grin
