Finally, a pr in 2012! Today's 10k was 52:30, more than a minute faster than my previous best. And it was on a hilly course, warmer and windier than I expected, with some nice congestion hangning on from last week's cold. Woohoo! My realistic goal time was 53:30, optimistic goal was 52:45. It really helped to be running with a handful of others; seems like I end up running alone a lot in smaller races, but not today. There was a 5k sharing the start and finish line, and I got to pass the last of the 5k folks there in the final .25 mile. Got a nice little medal for being 2nd in the age group, too.

Now it's off to the grand opening of a new donut shop in the neighborhood, to celebrate with donuts for lunch...
