Another 5K

I have been training pretty well with the running this week. I set my goal for myself to run the race in 26:30 or less. I have been consistently doing 26:30 this week on the treadmill.....but that doesn't factor in inclines, weather, accuracy.
So I ran the race this morning with my sister. She also set her goal to be in the 26's and this was her first race in a long time.

So I was really happy with my time today of.......23:50. I really exceeded my goal and was super shocked. I forgot to set my watch so I was uncertain of the time the whole race. They also had no mile markers so I wasn't even sure of how far I had gone. This landed me a 1st Place in my age group and a 6th place overall. So it was definitely a Personal Best. Yay. I am pretty proud of myself today. I even got a medal......

I have another race next weekend. I don't really know what my goal should be. I am thinking it may be a fluke for this week's time...so I don't want to shoot for a much lower time because I might disappoint myself. So I guess I will try for around the same time and see what happens.

Ashley met her goal also and ran a 26:03 and got 2nd for her age group. She plans on running next weekend too.

So here are my stats to date:

Race 1- 5k-  28:41 (Nov. 20)
Race 2- 5k-  27:41 (Dec. 3)
Race 3- 5k-  23:50 (Dec. 10)
