Ran a little 5k in Montgomery today. Hit a 17:09 edging second place by 1:15 (he ran 18:24), but, truth be told, I'm a wee bit frustrated by this race. I would have been fine and well pleased, but a friend from Auburn who came to run the race as well checked the course with his Garmin, and it turned out that it was 3.19 miles, as opposed to the 3.107 that it's supposed to be; had I run the same pace for an accurate 5k (or just had the finish line in the correct spot), I would have had a 16:42, which would be my first 5k PR in about 5 years. Oh well; life goes on. Other than the distance frustration, it was a fun race, with plenty of people (163 in the 5k results, I think...) and door prizes, and, true to form, I probably enjoyed myself too much, playing throughout the run, spreading my arms and imitating an airplane at every turn (much to the amusement of the course monitors) and jumping for a nice heel click at the finish and talking to everyone I saw throughout the race. Perhaps horsing around is the key to 5k PR's. Hhhmmm.....
