Subject: Update to 5k race for those that are interested


x-no-archive:yes

I ran that 5k Saturday. I ran faster than I ever have before. (Even if
it was probably a slow time for most of you).

It looks like my time is around 21:39. (The cards will be mailed to me
with the official time but I have not received it yet.). I was 4th in
my age group.

I appreciate those of you that provided me with constructive advice on
getting ready for the race. Thanks to you I am in the best shape of my
life. I went to a health fair the night before the race. My
bloodpressure was 120/66. My bodyfat is 13.2%. I feel better than I
ever have.

I ran this 5k 5 years ago for the first time. My time was 27:45. I ran
it for two more years after that then stopped for 3 years until this
weekend. I cant believe I improved my time that much.

So again, thanks to all you who helped me.

Congratulations on the 6:46 pace roughly. Now stick with it at a level
you can maintain consistently.
