New 5K PR - 25:31

I entered another 5K today, just 6 days after my last one.  It was the SonRise 5K in Plano, TX.  Today’s weather was cold.  It was 40F and on the way back home, it was snowing.  No accumulation though.
I was able to run a new 5K PR or 25:31.  This time around I was able to hold my 8:00 min/mile pace for the first 2 miles.  I had to walk a couple times in the last mile which dropped my pace.

I didn’t place in my age group…I was 4th, but I’m really excited about my new PR which improved on my PR from last Sunday by over 2 mins.

I’m very tempted to enter one last 5K next weekend before I start marathon training.  I’ll make that decision tomorrow.

    NICE! I’m still having trouble breaking the 27:00 barrier. I have an 8K next week, maybe I can get an enroute PR? :)

    Hi Derek,
    I haven’t said hello yet, but this is as good an occasion as any. Congratulations on your new PR. It certainly is a great feeling, and you certainly deserve it! My next 5K is in 3 weeks, and if my Half Marathon doesn’t eat me alive next week, I should be able to finish standing up!!!
