New PR Set for a 5K Race


The 2010 Bucks County 5K Series got off to a GREAT start today. It was a beautiful morning with blue sky, sunshine and temperatures in the low 60s. This was the 1st of 7 races that will be run between now and the first week of June. I ran this 5K just 1-week after finishing a Half-Marathon in Sarasota, FL last Sunday. And, I finished in 25:06 giving me a new PR of an 8:04 mile in a 5K race. I'm psyched!

Overall, I placed 193 out of 617 runners and I finished 11th in my age group (55-59). Just missed finishing in the 'Top 10' for my age group by 1 position. This gives me the motivation to finish in the Top 10 for my age group in at least a couple of the remaining six races in this series.

The next race in the series is the New Hope-Solebury "Spirit Run" on Sunday, April 11 - just 3 weeks away!

Happy trails everyone!
