5K

i ran a 5K race (the Edgewater 5K Fun Run/walk) today, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life - posted my worst timing (unofficially 29:50) in a 5K race - but its not one i am disappointed with, considering there has been little training, and that the 20mph wind made the 47 degree temperature look a lot worse.

i am hoping to run a couple more 5Ks this summer - with the eventual finish time target of 25 minutes (~8min/mile or 7.44mph - easier said than done ofcourse, but certainly not unrealistic i think).

UPDATE
It turns out that my official time was 27:57! I find that rather hard to believe, but i guess it must be correct.
