So I did a 5 mile race yesterday, finished in 35:58. My best pace/time in a race yet. Turns out I finished 13th out of the field of 239, and 2nd in the male 40-49 grouping. I knew I did decent (for me), but I was surprised to have finished that high. I'm getting there!

    heya! That's quite a bit of speed. Congratulations!
    Now go run 10 miles in 70 minutes. :) Just kidding (though at the rate you're going, you probably will be soon).
    Keep it up!

    Thanks everyone. Im out there pretty much every day and post my workouts here, feel free to add me, I give plenty of motivation and it's been great to find fellow comrades-in-legs (see what I did there? :) on MFP. I'll gladly add anyone but I don't do it unless people say it's ok.
