  29 minutes and 00 seconds in a 5k (3.1 mile) race this morning.

  That is a 9 minute 40 second mile pace.

  9th place for my age group.

  There's just ooooone tiny problem...... AFTER the race we all found out that the cops changed the race path without telling anyone and so instead of 3.1 miles we only ran 2.8 miles.

  I was sooo excited about how great I had ran. I've NEVER ran a 5k in less than 30 minutes and I thought I had accomplished something great... but it turns out I didn't.

  Oh well. It was a fun race anyway!

  Great job Elsewhere! I couldnt run 1 mile, let alone 2.8! Glad you had fun! Have a drink on me and celebrate!!!

  I just did the math and if this were extended out to the full 3.1 miles I would have finished in 32 minutes and 06 seconds with a mile pace of 10 minutes and 42 seconds.

  Certainly not my best time, but good considering my last race was in October.

  Still that's a good time............For your age.

  Just kidding, that was good.

  Back in HS we used to run 2.95 mile courses for cross country. My best time was in the States - 16:02 (or was is 16:09?) ---- Now I can only pretend I'm running while on the eliptical!
  
  Keep it up Else!
