So I missed out on the planned 3k because I had an upset groin muscle (from some ultimate frisbee two days before), but I found and ran a mile race at an indoor track meet. It was January 27th at PG Sports and Learning Center in Prince George's County Maryland, and had participants of all ages. I actually ran in the masters mile because I was too slow for the open mile, but I managed a 5:39, a time that I'm pretty proud of, even though I finished pretty close to the back of the pack. I had a big kick left, too, so i think i could have run it a few seconds faster if I'd started going earlier. Go me!
