So, I did the 5K yesterday and it went pretty well. Turns out I won my age group. But I'm not really sure how.
I did the 5K in 20:33 and passed the 3 mile mark at 19:40. Not only is that a pretty good pace, and as good as I could have expected, but it's also pretty close to as fast as I ran in high school We did the 3 mile in cross country and I tried to link to an article from the local paper about one of our races, but you have to buy the article so :P
What was really amazing is that all my memories of cross-country are of it being SOOOO long, you just had so much time to think about how horrible it was. And it hurt SOOO much. I'm pretty sure nearly every race I kinda fell over, threw up some.
But yesterday, it was just so short. I didn't even really have time to register that shit hurt and then it was done and I was like 'oh, oops'. I kind of crossed the finish line and was like, umm, i geuss I could run another 3 miles at that pace. I probably should have gone faster then.

Nice job! I think I can ride 5k in 20 mins right now. Is it the weather or what? I've been getting slower I think - it feels like it, but the watch doesn't agree. Daylight savings has messed everything up for me.
