I ran my first 5k of the year this morning (hence the slightly late Ping) and did pretty well. Though I was about 30 seconds off my time from last year, I still had my best run of the year and kept an amazingly even pace, with my minutes/mile exactly the same for miles 1, 2, and 3. I even finished first in my age bracket, though I think there may have only been one other person in the bracket.
This particular race is a fun one because it’s very low-key and mellow. No fancy t-shirts here, only a pencil. Entry fee? $3. Prizes? Weird trophies. And best of all, the people are friendly. I haven’t run and really hardcore races yet, but I don’t really feel a burning desire to, either.
Any other runners (of any skill level) out in Pingland?
