Personal record
I ran my fastest 5K today in the Mercedes-Benz Miami Corporate run. I have Lou to thank for that. He didn't start running until he met me, and I didn't start running faster until he started running fast. My goal was to beat my '07 time, which was 26:10. Since there were no clocks or mile markers along the course, I wasn't sure how fast or slow I was going. I felt pretty good, probably because my new Nike Air Zoom Equalon2 shoes were way too comfy. They even felt good on the grated bridge. The other bridge wasn't too much of a challenge because I've been using the incline on the treadmill. The weather was nice and breezy, not too hot or humid. Somewhere near the end of mile 3, when I heard the music blaring, I knew it was time to speed up. "25 and change,'' the announcer yelled. I ran for the finish, fast, but not as fast as I could, and finished in 25:34. My goal for next year: 24:59 or less. Did anyone else set a personal record? Tell us about it.
