Personal Worst

I ran my college alumni cross country race yesterday, and established a personal worst time for 5K - 25:51.

I was a little surprised by that, as I didn't expect to run so slowly.  I thought my overall fitness was decent (from cycling), and I actually ran a couple of times a week in September.  My mile splits certainly were not very even - 7:31/8:45/8:32. 

I felt OK, just not very fit, but my left knee was a bit sore after the race, and remains a bit sore as I type this the following day.  Not swollen, though, so I guess that is good.

I am going to carry on with trying to do 3 runs a week, and will probably try another 5K in the next month or so.

Shouldn't be hard to beat yesterday's time :-)
