Progress

Today I had a great race in the Y Not Run 8K. I had goal of running 9-minute miles or finishing in under 45 minutes. (The math doesn't quite work on that, I know.)

I achieved my goal! I ran the race in 43:19 for an 8:44 pace. The best part about it is that I know I can run a lot faster.

This seems like as good a time as any to look over all my races and reflect on my times.
