I did a 5K today in a very crowded scene and although my time was not as fast as last week, I was very proud of my overall stats. It was hot and sunny and I really hate running in the sun. I wanted to rip my clothes off (sounds more exciting than it was.) My time was 27:44 and I came in 123/714 women in my age group and 1958 out of 5300. Yeah baby! Okay so that says nothing for how well I will do when it is thirteen miles in October but here is my goal: I want to do the half marathon with a 9:15-9:30 mile. I think I can do this and not kill myself.


We'll see.


Got the century this week then I can fully concentrate on the running more than the biking.
