I'm in! Have two 5Ks in April. My PR from last year is 19:26. I have no idea what to expect next month, since I haven't run a 5K since last June, but I feel strong coming off my recent BQ.

I'm in! Nothing in the near future scheduled, but I would like to turn my 19:06 PR into a sub 19. I ran a 19:18 in February (improvement of 30 seconds over the same race in 2013).

I'm in on this. I ran 18:50 in January last year, but then lost some speed training for my one and perhaps only marathon last July. I just turned 59 and I'm feeling it a bit, but I think I can still get this done at least one more time. My next fast 5k race probably will be the Twilight 5K on April 18th in Lewiston, Idaho. That's where I set my current PR (18:22) two years ago. It's a flat course and is 1800' lower in altitude than here in Pullman, and that seems to help a bit. Plus it's run at 7:00 PM and I always seem to run faster later in the day vs early mornings.

Marathon training killed my speed for over a year.

count me in as well. I have a 19:34 or something in the books this year but i'd like to see that first number start with a 18 again.
I don't have a 5K on the calendar until Memorial day. Then the weekly 5K series starts up.
nothing to see here.
My two 5Ks this month are on the 19th and 26th. Then a couple more in May and July.
I'll play. No 5ks scheduled yet, but it won't be long.

I guess I should sign up for this one too. I have the ambitious goal to go sub-18 by the end of this year, but my PR right now is 19:03. After that race (March 9th) I felt great, and knew I could have pushed much harder. So at this point I know I can break it - it's more of a formality.
2016 Goals:
I'm in. I ran 18:55 in October of 2011 on a course with hills and an uphill finish. Yesterday I ran 20:48, so I have a lot of work to do. I'm only at 35 miles per week right now.
The crowd increases. This is good.
Congrats on the BQ yesterday, C-R!
I would like to break 19 on June 7th.

Thanks. Now lets get some shorter stuff as fast as these old seasoned legs can go.
I hope to lower my 5k time again Memorial Day, might run a race before that one. Anyone racing this weekend?
Feeling the growl again
I dunno C-R, are you running the Blame Spaniel 5K #3?
