Nice, that 5K PR seems primed to fall.

In the words of my late-coach : Just hang in there, relax... and at the end of a race anyone you see.....just pass them

Big grin Thanks, I am excited. My first race is in February (5k) and I cannot wait, I expected to break 29 minutes but I honestly think I could break closer to 25-27 minutes. Last night's splits were:

Mile 1 - 10:13

Mile 2 - 10:23

Mile 3 - 9:46

Mile 4 - 9:56

Mile 5 - 9:48

Mile 6 - 9:12

I think I can do better, mainly because my legs were still a bit tired from Sunday's lunges and squats. I am sure that if I warm up for at least a mile before the race starts, I should be able to stay near 9 minutes.
