First Milestone

I participated in a 5k this weekend. It was my first one and I was really happy with how it went. Apparently, I need to re-calibrate my nike+ipod because it was slightly off for my time. I finished in 25:26 which is about an 8:11/min mile. Considering I was thinking I'd try to go out at a 9:45 pace in the first half (9:30 if I was pushing it), I was pretty surprised. When I looked at my watch at the 1-mile checkpoint, it was only 8:22. The course was mostly uphill the first half, so I knew that if I could just keep it up for another mile, the last one would be easier. I think I did the last mile in about 7:50. What I'm most excited about, is that my prediction now for a 10k is below my personal best at that distance (same for half marathon), so I know I am making good progress, now to start the 10k training program...
