got there nice and early (thought it started 30 min prior to when it really did), got in a good warmup, and then just tried to go out at a nice easy pace that I could hold.  I didn't really want to red line today.  This was just a way to see where I am with my fitness.  I think I brought back a few seconds in the last mile.1.  mile 1 6:20, mile 2 12:40ish.  So I must have run a little faster in the last.  cool.  

Still waiting for the official time - 19:08 - it should be at least 5 sec faster cause of where I started in the pack.  

Either way I am happy with this time.  It is my new 5K PR since I started all over.  :)

I had a little faster time in me but probably not more than a few sec a mile.  I want to get back under 18 for this distance.  I just need to keep training consistently and NOT get hurt.  

may go out for 6 later - wanted to do 10 but not sure I have the heart for that this afternoon.  

 

Well they have me at 19:19 -- that's weird - 19:26 clock time.  I thought for sure I heard  19:09.  whatever

Congratulations on a great race, Tim! You're running so well. I am sure you can throw down a sub 18 if you want. Smart thinking and training! :)

Nice 5K Tim. Wish I could just show up and "go out at a nice easy pace," and run a 19:08. Keep injury free and you'll be back to your good old self before you know it.
