5k Personal Record!

I ran a 5k last weekend in Venice Beach, and I set a personal record!!!  I finished in 36:01, under a 12 minute mile pace.  I know I'm still not super fast, but I beat a time that I set on Thanksgiving 2009.  Also, this race was really fun.  There were a band, drummers, and fire breathers along the route.  In addition there were food trucks and another band at the post-race party.  I would definitely recommend doing one of these races if there is one in a city near you!
  
The 5k started about 15 minutes after the half marathon, thus the clock doesn't read my actual race time.

  2. Thanks! I knew when I sprinted to the finish line that I had a great time, so I was ecstatic.
