Today I ran the ChocoLoco 5k at Uptown Park, my second 5k since I started training. My goal was to break 40 minutes and I did!! 38:48.8, Pace 12:30. I’m very happy. I was hoping to see some improvement from my 3x week training and I saw it today.
I used my Zombies Run App! to record my time and distance and when the app said I had reached 1 mile with a pace of less than 12 minutes, I was very surprised as it usually tells me I’m at 13:30 or 14 minutes. But I kept running. I made it all the way to 2 miles before I had to take my first walk break. That, in itself, was a personal best. 2 miles without stopping!!
The last mile was a combination of running and walking. My pace increased a bit to 13:00 but the early 2 miles helped offset my average. I felt great when I crossed the finish line.
