Crystal City 5K Fridays Race #1


I signed up to run all of the five Crystal City 5K Fridays, which is near where I work.  Tonight was race #1.  My plan was to take it easy on the first one so that I could do a steady improvement throughout the month.  However, everyone around me was running like crazy, so I ran pretty fast too.  My result was pretty good.  I actually ran it in under 24 minutes.  I came in 181st overall out of 938 runners and 145th out of 418 males.  My chip time was 23 minutes, 58 seconds, which is a pace of 7:46 per mile.  Now I have to improve on that time.  Yikes.

I need neck liposuction!

Good for you. I've been mixing a cardio routine w/ my lifting but need to do more running. Right now I'm running 4 miles in about 34/35mins. Sounds like you're a bit faster - I'd certainly be proud of that time.
