Set a 5K PR after 12 years of trying


Recommended Posts

In 2003 I ran a small competition 5K and was pushed by some strong runners to test my limits.  I ran a 5K of 23:09 that day and have come close and even potentially surpassed it (Ran a 44:30 10K just a few years ago), but never officially on the score card.

 

Yesterday I ran a 5K in my town in preparation for my half marathon next month. Again this was a small field and I broke out with the leaders early on, but made sure to use my watch to keep my pace somewhere I could maintain. I finished with a time of 22:09 knowing I had done the best my body could do yesterday with the training I had done so far this year.

 

My final time put me 17th overall among 266 runners and 3rd in my age group.

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for the present life and the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:8

Never compromise.
