Good luck, sqf! hope your marathon is both fast and fun!

I did a 5k race this morning, on the spur of the moment. The weather was not very pleasant, drizzle and gusty winds. But I raced in my VFFs for the first time anyways. It went very well-- 24:36, exactly 1 minute faster than my existing PR, and about 30 seconds faster than I was aiming for. I think the mile markers must have been off, because my splits shouldn't have added up to that time. It did look like the markers had been blown around a bit, so who knows? It was too cold and wet to stick around for the awards, but I'd be surprised if I didn't place in my age group. But dropping a full minute off a PR is cooler than winning, anyways!

I ran a 5 mile race today, and placed 3rd in my AG. Yay! Well, they gave me a medal, but CR says I'm 4th. Hmmm. Anyhow, I was off from last time I did this race, but it was really windy. Then when we were done, we turned around and did it again to get our long run miles in. Crazy!
