With April 29 on my mind, I ran my first race of 2006 this morning. The 12th Annual Tom King 5K gave me a look at the home stretch of the upcoming Country Music Half Marathon. Don't think it didn't cross my mind as I ran by the Titans Stadium: Will I see this again in about 6 weeks?
While I still have some training to do in order to accomplish my goal at the 13.1 mile distance, I was able to set my personal best at the 5K (3.11 Miles) distance today. And with most of the best runners waiting to participate in the longer event of the day, I was able to finish in the top third overall.
Dirkmonter's results:
Time: 00:26:02
8:24 mile pace
135th place overall out of about 450 finishers
15th out 0f 35 finishers - males 35-39
I'm looking forward nervously to the Country Music Half Marathon April 29th. Finishing in under 02:30:00 is my goal. See you out there!
