I have gained a little weight (4 pounds over 2 weeks), getting slower on runs, and generally feeling crappy so I didn’t have high expectations today at the Anthem 5K. I did not get a PR, but looking back over race results I managed to save since 1999 (I took a multi-year hiatus from 2003 to 2007 while turning into a couch potato), there was only one 5K I ran faster, the Colgate 5K in 2000, at 25:06. So not bad for an old, still-overweight guy who just got back into running again:
Chip time: 25:49
Pace: 8:20
Numbers from my watch:
First mile: 7:55
Second mile: 8:20
Third mile: 8:10
