Komen Race 2009

A few weeks ago I did the Komen 5k again. It's the first real run I've done since my injury.
I totally sucked.
though...I think I still did better than last year? So yay?
Eh.
I signed up for the competitive race. Not because I thought I'd be competing, but because that way I'd have an exact time for the race.
I'm smart.

So here we go:
45m 16s
number 200 out of 211 in the mens 30 to 34 age group (okay this figure is super sad...but at least I wasn't actually the last one)
That time puts me at a 14m 31s mile.
Again...eh...but now I know what I need to do to improve for the next one. I'm gonna sign up for one of the thanksgiving 5k's. We'll see.
Anyway, I'm out.

EP5K

I ran the ElPaso Energy 5k today.
Good times.
Couldn't sleep at all the night before, partly because I went to Jay and Heather's to sing like a rockstar and partly because of nerves.

So, on about 4 hours of sleep, I ran my 5k.
Unofficial results are in, and this is the lowdow:

Time: 36min 26sec (pr)
Pace: 11min 44sec per mile
Rank:
Overall: 1101/2065
Male: 728/1056
M30-34: 112/145

Not too shabby really.
Altogether, I busted my last 5k time easily, accomplished my goal of coming in under 40 minutes, and even managed to finish in a decent position overall given that it was only my second 5k.
New goals will be set for the next one. :)
