Yesterday was the Mineola Mustang 5K Race. A perfect race day, cloudy and cool; temperature around 42 degrees. Happily, I ran this race with a PR of 25:38 (pace: 8:15) breaking my previous PR from 5 years ago by 34 seconds. (Results) Wow!
This was the fourth consecutive time I ran this race; A big improvement this year:
It seems my blog has become my place for race reports. Soon I will no doubt tire from giving race reports and get back into other running thoughts and opinions. Its hard not to race report when the PRs keep on coming, particularly as the years keep coming as well. When your running shows improvement as reflected by PRs, it is such a high - it signifies you are doing better; performing more at your potential; getting closer to the those mega and perhaps unspoken running goals and dreams.
