So, I ran the town 5K this evening - the Andover Days 5K. I have run this race every year since its inception and absolutely love it. It is a challenging course, with a big reward - increasing elevation for the first two miles and then a fast finish (the first part of mile 3 is down hill). My splits were off what I would need for a 19:00 race, but that was to be expected. The are as follows
Mile 1 - 6:32
Mile 2 - 6:23
Mile 3 and 0.1 - 6:33
Official finishing time - 19:29
This is a personal record and I even won my age group! I am so excited about this. Plus, I vindicated last week's poor showing. But why is it that on the same night that I set a PR, AJMac sits on his couch and gets a second better on his PR? What am I doing wrong?
Tonight, I met a gentlemen who has always wanted to beat 20:00 minutes. His official time tonight was 19:00. We should use that story as motivation.
