NSV - 5K in 30:11

Well I didn't meat my goal of under 30 mins for this morning's ZooMiami 5K but I was really freaking close and that is over 8 minutes faster than the last 5K. So I am happy with that. I ran at a 9:43 pace and my new goal (longer term) is an 8 min mile.

Congrats!  Keep it up!  You will get there.

I'm hoping to do my first 5K the month of my next birthday (March).  Starting with 1-mile races to get ready. 

Check out the C25K app. That is a great way to get up to running a 5k in a fairly short amount of time.

That is excellent, Keith! My hubby is chasing that 8 min mile goal, as well. It's a process, just stick with it and I know you will get there!

Keith, I will TOTALLY meet you for a race and pace you for your 8 minute miles :). Just let me know where and when!  Honestly, the gap from 10-8:00 closed very quickly for me...follow Hal Higdon's Intermediate 8K program!  That's what finally got me there, I'm at. 7:42 pace now, hoping for 23:00 on my next race (10/6)

That's awesome! I will check that out and let you know when the next race in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale is.

WTG Keith! I just did my 1st 5k and will be doing another in 2 weeks. My time was no where near that; I walked it, but I did it. You are a freaking beast!

That's awesome! Getting it done is the first step!

Keith, that is awesome!! You should be very proud of yourself!

Congrats!! That is awesome!! Proud of you!! You will get it!!
