AW 5K PR and 1st in age category
I have had an incredibly good racing season this spring. Legen - wait for it - dary.
21:35 is my new 5K PR. Overall pace of 6:57. Geez!!! I haven't seen one mile that started with a 6 in forever, no less 3 of them. I honestly didn't know if I could do it, especially since the course was entirely uphill in the last mile. That last mile was hard.
And I won a GC to a running store for being 1st in my age category. Yay! I need more socks.
I credit my Run like an animal Bondi Band for this one. Or all those miles I ran training for marathons over the last few months. Yes, speedwork makes you faster. But lots of miles also make you faster.
Happy Sunday!!
