Yesterday I ran my 2nd 5k event of the year and shaved off over another minute on my time. The course was a bit short at 2.96 miles according to my Garmin and several other runners with their watches confirmed, so I had to estimate my actual 5k time which I estimate would have been about 25:04. Down from 26:17 a month ago.
8:04 average pace, down from 8:30 last month.
2nd in my age group and 10th overall. 68 total entrants.
Tried out a new pizza place after the race to celebrate the good results. Steve's Pizza in Austin Minnesota. One of the better pizza places I've found in the region. Will be returning there in the future for sure.
This concluded an 8 week duathlon training plan I did through TrainingPeaks to get back into racing. I'm taking a week off from structured training to do whatever running and cycling I want, then the following week starts a 20 week duathlon plan with a September 5k race in mind.

@mthx Good job! It looks like a fun route! I used to live in Austin.
@Dowden It's a neat town. I live in the general area but have been coming to Austin regularly now for different things recently.
@mthx Congrats on completing the run and for a new speed/pace personal record!
