Ran in a 5 k race this past week. I think this is the first 5k race I have ever done now that I think of it.

It was happening in conjunction with a conference that I was attending so I decided to run it, by just showing up at the start and running without all that messy registration stuff.

Ran a 19:25. Hit the first mile at 6:05 and thought I was going way too fast, then was 12:25 or so at 2 miles, so I just tried to hold on for dear life and finish it out.

I almost feel somewhat fast. My fastest 5 k ever.

One thing that is dissapointing, my Nike+ calibration is horrible. When I finshed the race, it said that I had only run 2.73 miles. stupid ipod is shortchanging me.
