Ran in the La Amistad 5k this past weekend and was able to pull off my first race victory in about 3 years; and was able to run my fastest 5k since freshman year of college (6 years ago). I was a big cross country runner in high school, but once college hit, my running shape diminished quickly. Every race I entered in college, I was able to squeeze out 19:00 - 20:00 5k's. And with that came almost collapsing/losing my breakfast across the finish line.
Led this race from start to finish. Pushed the pace from the beginning and no one came with me. I ended up running by myself for the entire course, finishing in a not-that-impressive 17:42; roughly a minute ahead of 2nd place. But to see where I have come from in a year and a half since college, I was pleased.
Next up: Publix Half Marathon. Looking to pull off a 1:19.
