I ran a 17:58 5k, and my first and only 10k was 8 minute paced.
NEW 10K: 36:55
NEW 5K: 17:27
FIRST HALF: 1:23:41
I also became a distance runner in one cross country season, rather than be a ... sprinter *shudders*
Short-Term Running Goals:
I want to break 17 minute 5k, and if I can ... get really close to 16 to get me fast enough to possibly do college
Long-Term Running Goals:
I want to run, and be able to run for life...
Some day I'll run a marathon, but I feel more partial to the Half right now ... It just seems like a better race to me.
Maybe if I run another half I will feel better 'cause I know what I am going up against.
Personal:
I love to run, and I am a graduated Senior moving on to college, not running on their team. I didn't run cross country my freshman year ... (it makes me cry sometimes, what a mistake!) But now I wouldn't mind having cross country 24/7/365
