2008 5k stats
I'm hoping to run in at least two more this year, not counting yesterday's and Thursday's. Here's to not being a lazy fat ass!
Celebrity 5k, 3/30/08, Miami Beach: 111 1139 MARISA DININO 25 33:38 00:34:36 11:09
Um, my pace was based on my ending time, not on my "net time". If it had been based on the correct time, it would be under 11min. Thank you. I am still slow. I know. But whatever, I finished 1,139 out of 3,000 motherfuckers for my first 5k in practically a year. And this was on South Beach, the land of supposedly beautiful people with cosmetic surgery-enhanced bodies.
4/3/08: Corporate Run, Ft. Lauderdale: 34:20 (blech)
8/9/08: ING Marathon 5k Kick-off, Ft. Lauderdale: 33:40 (give or take a few seconds. Typical traffic jam at the start of the race)
edit:
10/25/08 Spooktacular 5k (yes it's really called that...): 36:00! Gross.
I've decided that I'm going to make this entry public in the hopes that it will embarrass me into training again. I've been a complete slacker, and I can only partially blame work and marching band. I want to shave 3 minutes off of this by Thanksgiving.
11/27/08, Turkey Trot 5k, Tamarac: 31:58!!! YESSSSS. Personal best.
Ok, so it was about 20 degrees cooler that the October 5k... but I've also obviously been training more. I almost cried at the end of my first mile -- I couldn't believe I was going so fast. I was disappointed to see that my time was still relatively slow, but it's really encouraged me to work harder and try to get through that 30 min. goal by the new year. Yessss.
Approximate splits (bad short-term memory...):
10:45
10:40
09:45
00:48
Yeah I dunno; the first two are right, anyway.
12/27: Resolution 5k, Ft. Lauderdale -- 30:33
Splits
1st mile: 10:20
2nd mile: 20:30
End of race: 30:33
Goal: To break 30 min by December 31, 2008.
Eh, I came close to my goal. Just 34 seconds away. :) The fact that I came down from 36:00 to 30:33 in three months is something I'm very proud of. I'd like to be in the 29s by the Corporate Run in March. That would be hot.
Future races:
1/09: 10k, Miramar
2/22/09, A1A Ft. Lauderdale Half-Marathon
3/09: 5k Corporate Run
