Distance: 5K
Time: 22:40
Overall Ranking: 6th
Age-Group: 1st, Medal
So I'm racking up the medals. That makes 3 for 3 for age-group medals, though two of the three were gimmes. The martian invasion medal was the real deal. Getting a 1st place today in my age group was a pretty sweet feeling as well.
Obviously I was disappointed seeing 22:XX as I approached the finished line. Apparently that martian course was as short as my phone indicated (3.04). Today's was actually 3.13 - so an entire tenth of a mile... that would explain it.
So perhaps I got a little carried away with my goals for the year. My two goals are as follows:
1. Break 22 minutes.
2. 7 minute pace
I sure do feel great, which is the most important thing - especially after going a few days without alcohol or chips. And having my daughter there to see me and watch me collect medals is so important. Today a friend came over, and Maddie walked to her in our room to show her all the medals her "amazing" dad had won :)
OK, time to pig out just a little, and start planning the next big event.
