The official race timings are in and they are 28mins 48secs. This is almost 22secs better (or faster) than my previous estimate of 29:10. This means that my speed is 09:18mins/mile which is good !!!
My intentions are to run another 5K in Eden Prairie on May 16th. Hopefully, I will be able to better this time of 28:48. My goal for the upcoming race is just to run the race completely without any regard to the timing. Anything faster than 28:48 will be bonus.
I used to run about 2.3 miles until last week. This caused problems because 5K = 3.1miles and just around the 2.5mile marker, I was really tired. I wasn't sure whether I would be able to run the complete 3.1mile distance. As a result, I have started running 2.5miles and I am hoping to run at least 2.7miles as practice before the actual race. Practice runs of 2.7miles or more will give me a better endurance to run the actual 5K race. Hopefully, I will be able to run the actual 5K race in much better shape. Unless I can regularly run 5K, I cannot even dream of running a 10K. My plans were to run at least one 10K this year but that looks very ambitious now and I will have to scale back my targets for running.
However, the official race timings are making me happy and its' time to celebrate....
