I checked but I didn't get the invite. But Sportsfan is my screen name. I don't know why it didn't work.

Well, I sent it to sportsfan. If it's actually Sportsfan then that's the problem. I'll try that.

Well, first time under 20:00. I got a 19:44 on Saturday.

My goal for the end of last year was to run under 20 min by the end of the year. I was kind of dissapointed it didn't happen, but only running 3 times in the last 3 months didn't help either. Weird thing is for this run, I was going to go out and so a long slow distance and run around 5 miles (that is long for me). So I start off and stick to the road and was feeling pretty good. I checked my time and speed at around the 2 mile mark and it said I was running a under a 6:30 pace, I couldn't believe it so I said what hte hell, guess I will try adn keep it going for one more. After I finished the 5 k I took it easy getting home, right around a 7:05 pace for the last 2 miles. now I jsut need to learn to go out slower when I actually intend on doing so.

Wow piney, that must be a cool feeling. 7:05 was my pace for my fastest 5k last year. I look forward to the day when that feels like I'm taking it easy.

I'm new to the site, but I found this to be an interesting idea. I'm always looking for some sort of motivation to make me workout more and I like the idea of having a forum like this to help me set goals and give a little bit of accountability.

I tried following the link from the first page of this thread to the site where I can supposedly enter times, but it tells me it doesn't exist anymore. Am I just technologically inept?

As for my 5K time; well I haven't been timed in many years, but my fastest ever official time was 15:36 (in high school, very flat course). I'm kind of excited to time myself tonight. I think if I hit 24 minutes, I'll be VERY happy with myself.

Welcome.

Runnercoug was maintaining that site, but I don't know if it ever got off of the ground.

Do you have an iPod Nano? Most of us are logged into the NikePlus system and have several challenges ongoing over there, both for speed and distance.
