Notes: After having taken off four months from racing in order to strengthen my core, I was anxious to run a 5K and see how well (or if) I had progressed. I was thrilled to get a PR with a 26:46 and a 5th place female finish (out of 43). My previous record had been set nearly three years earlier on much more mileage, so it looks like core training worked! For more detailed info from my Garmin, click here. The icing on the cake was having Mom and Ed there with me, and running into my pal Emily, who I hadn't seen in 10 years.
