I got 1st Place

Ok granted it wasn't really a real race, but I soaked it up for the 20 secs after I crossed the line. This was more of a fun run so really it never counted. But Fleet Feet put on a great even last night where we tried out a new timing chip for a local company and they got to just test results stuff. So the idea was we guessed our time and tried to see how close we were to our time. Most people just went out and did a training run...me being the overacheiver was one of the only few that went for race pace. Honestly all I wanted to do is see how fast my 5 k run time had gotten. I guessed I would be at 23:15. Thoughts being that I may have not focused on running lately but with speed workouts and a higher VO2 I could do better. Well needless to say I got with in 10.3 secs of my time! And we all got free DriMax Socks woot woot. My final time was 23:04, I was impressed with myself. I hope to see if I can shave off 30 more seconds which I think is very possible considering it was 85* out. But I thought it was a great improvement - thats a 1 min 35 sec improvement from my 5k in March. Hopefully my trend will continue like it did in swimming back with Clay at Crestwood, every race was a PR for me cause I was so new to the sport.
