Lowered my best recent 5K time by one minute, completing the No Excuses 5K in 40:34. Since I haven't been running much lately and my training has taken a bit of a dive, I couldn't be more pleased. This is an fun run that uses an age-graded formula that I can not attempt to explain or understand. What I do know is that my age-graded time was 34:50! I can't complain about that. Some day that will hopefully be my actual time. I did this same race in 2005 and finished in 50:19. I will take a 10 minute improvement in 5 years. It's progress!
It was also great to share this race with a first-timer from my running group. She did awesome. Afterwards we went out for breakfast and plotted out our training leading up to Nike. I may have even convinced someone to train for a marathon with me in November!
