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!

So bittersweet,
This tragedy
Won't ask for absolution;
This melody,
Inside of me,
Still searches for solution.
A twist of faith,
A change of heart
Cures my infatuation.
A broken heart,
Provides the spark
For my determination.

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!
