Race: SLC Track Club Winter 5k (3.1 Miles) 00:25:45, Place in age division: 5

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
0.00	3.10	3.10

I did it. I hoped for under 26 minutes so to get 25:45 was wonderful for me. It was hard to get ready this morning. I wasn't sure if it would be cold or hot so I just winged it and went with my jacket. I was dressed just fine other than my toes were cold the first half. It was fun and I am looking forward to doing the 10k in a couple weeks. It was fun to get out with Jody and Katy and get back into doing a run.

I was able to meet Brent and Sylvia after the race. Its nice to see others out doing what I enjoy.

Have a good weekend.

Paula, nice to meet you, you are one of the WOWs on the blog, keep up the great winter effort and you will have a very good race year. Congrads on the goal time. No doubt, without Gwen, you can get a 5K PR with some tempo and speed work. You have a very good winter running base. Keep up the great work. Also, don't be timid if you see me or Sylvie at races, we love to gab with running bloggers.

Looks like you had an excellent race today!!! It also sounds like it was not the best conditions so to beat your goal in addition to that is great!!! I think that you will see lots of great results throughout the year!!! Looking forward to seeing more great times!!!
