PR'd my first 5K of the year

I decided yesterday to run a local YMCA 5K. After training for a half marathon (which I ran in June) I thought this would be a nice change. I did it in 26:30 - a PR for me! And, I won 1st place in my age group (50-59) to my big surprise! Two years ago I ran this race and today I did it 1:42 faster, probably because I am 25 lbs lighter and have trained more.

Just wanted to share my success with the group. :-)

    WAY TO GO!!! That is awesome! I am 29 and I don't think that I could run it that fast! That makes me want to do a happy dance for you :)
