Race results are in.....

Finally the race results are in....and as expected timings are 27:13mins which translates to a pace of 08:46mins/mile. This is about 34-secs faster per mile. This is in spite of the fact that the temp was less than 40F and 30mph wind. I am hopeful that in my next race, I could be faster than 08:30mins/mile.

My training is also going great. I am now running 3.2miles or so on my normal runs, which is a little more than 5kms. These runs now average about 08:15mins/mile. And my faster runs are also much faster. On my most recent fast run, I ran a little more than 2.4miles in 19mins. This is about 07:51mins/mile. I am happy with my progress. My immediate goals are to run about 4miles on my normal runs and to complete the 5K race in under 26mins. I am hoping to accomplish both by the end of June.
