A New PR and a New Goal

Yesterday, I ran in a virtual 5k and set a new PR for myself. I ran it in 25'59". That beats my previous PR by 10 seconds. I'm pretty happy with that time. I wasn't anywhere near 1st place, but it definitely sets a new standard for this year. I've tried pretty hard to get out of the 26 - 27 min range all last year (I'll take the 1 second under :])

So, My new goal in my running is to get to the 24 min range this year. A 24 minute 5k is just under an 8 min/mile. In order to get to the 24'59" -- I'm looking at about an 8.3 min/mile. I think by the end of the year that it's doable.

Short and Simple.

Great job with the run. Do you use any sort of running plan?

Man, you are kicking my ass. Although I just got to the point where I can do a full 5k. Nothing to do but get faster.

Also, your blog layout makes me feel like my screen is dirty.

That is great... I hope I can get to where you're at... still trotting along at 12 minute mile.

Great job.
