Yesterday I ran the second 5K in the Athlete's Closet Winter Series. The weather was gorgeous for mid-January! I haven't been doing much training since the last race because of the holidays and my new job, but hopefully I get better at getting my workouts in.
Since I hadn't done much training, my goal was just to break 30 minutes. Good news: I actually set a new PR!!!! It was only by about 3 seconds, but a PR is a PR. It definitely helped knowing the course a little better this time. It's pretty hilly but it's almost all out and back so it evens out. I didn't go out fast but I passed a LOT of people. It's surprising how many people walk up the hills.
There were soft pretzels at the finish: yum. There were a lot more people than at the December race. I guess word's getting out. I did not place in the top 2 in my age group, but when the results are posted I will let you know how I DID place.
UPDATE: Results have just been posted! I ran 28:38 - 4 seconds faster than my old PR. I came in 5th out of 12 for the Female 20-29 age group and 84/138 overall. Not too shabby if I do say so myself!
