Okay, I've completed a full marathon in 2005 and hiked the rim of the Grand Canyon in May of 2006, so now what? Well, its no rest for the weary...so I'm back on Team in Training's run team this summer. But I'm no fool, I'm training for a 1/2 marathon this time.

Faster than a Speeding Bullet!

Event: Pleasant Hill Firecracker 5K
Time: 38:47
Pace: 12:31

This was a "blistering" pace for me! I ran the same event last year and my official time was 45:41 with a pace of 14:42. Plus I ran the entire way this year versus runnning/walking last year. The first mile is always hard for me, but by the last mile, I really got a good breathing/running rythem going and actually could've run a couple more miles. What a difference one year makes. Maybe a 10 minute mile next year??

A few TNT'ers were also running---some ahead of me, and yes, there were some behind me. Of course, Lindsay and her dad blazed trails way ahead of me. This is a fun 5K because its in my 'hood, plus the little kids' 100 yard dash is cute to watch. It's great to see the kids out there running. Happy 4th Everyone!
