5K

This morning was the George Washington Parkway Classic 10mile/5K, and I'm happy to report that it went about as well as I could have hoped. I enjoyed the time with my friend Rebecca and the opportunity to get to know her husband a friends. She and I were the only two of the group who opted to run the 5K, and everyone else we knew participating ran the full 10 miles. This gave Rebecca and I plenty of chat time. We were slow. Maybe more like S. L. O. W., but we finished with a pace of 11:46/mile, so now there is a benchmark for improvement next time. My husband has already handed me an advertisement for another 5K in June - that one is actually a 15/5K. He could run the 15, and I could run the 5 with our daughter. Good times.
