A three freaking minute PR in a 5K, despite all the IT band stuff you've been battling? How amazing are you???? The first mile, being a PB mile to boot???? Awesome! You even had gas to sprint in at the end. I know the course was a hair short, but clearly you know now that you have gotten tons faster. You are SO going sub-30:00 in Spring, girly!!! Congratulations!
Every time I sprint I think "Heidi does her LRs at this pace" at it makes it more manageable, lol!
Smaller By The Day
Congratulations! PR's can be very weird. I noticed it even when I was in powerlifting. You can hit a sticking point, and feel like your spinning your wheels. Then, BOOM!!! You have a day like you had, and you've knocked 3 minutes off. Awesome awesome job. I know your hip is hurting, but it would have hurt worse without the PR. Now, take care of it and prepare for that big sub-30 run.

Congrats on the PR!
Good job! Sub 30 is now within your grasp.
Considering how this one came out of nowhere, it may be sooner for you that you think
Oh and my splits don't add up because I lost about 20 seconds in the final split after I crossed the finish line. Forgot to turn my Garmin off, as usual.
Fear is a Liar
Awesome job Jess! You're looking good in that new PR!
On a side note: the wife and I went to Spice India yesterday by 33 and 248. They had an really good buffet - maybe you should treat yourself after setting your PR!
I'm so vegetarian I don't even eat animal crackers!

I really need to go to that one. Did they have a buffet for dinner? I treated myself to some sushi at Kome last night
Congrats on your new PR!!
Jess - we went to the lunch buffet. I think they have a dinner buffet on Monday and Wednesday But I'm not sure - may have to call ahead.
