It's a new track record. (my apologies to Tom Carnegie)
Ran a 5K race yesterday morning and finished in 23:50, 2 seconds better than my previous PB, and it was a very hilly course. I also finished 3rd in age group and received a nice little trophy. When the results are up I will post a link.

Victoria Park 5K
Sorry for the lack of posts. I was sick for a couple of weeks and I am just getting back to running.
This morning I ran another 5K race. I finished in 24:48, about 50 seconds slower than my PB but 40 seconds better than two weeks ago.
Because my wife had to work today, and Steve is not yet running races again since his groin injury, I went to the race alone this morning. My Garmin ran out of power so I have no stats, but I did do the first mile in 7:38. To be honest I did not push myself to run full out but I did get a surprise at the end. Another runner had passed me just before the 3rd mile mark. As I passed the 3rd mile I heard a loud piercing voice yell out, "pick it up Lancaster", I looked up, as there was a hill right before the finish, and there was Steve's better half. I have to admit I was surprised because the race was in another town about 15 miles away from our homes. Well I picked it up, passed the other runner and finished ahead of him. It turns out that he was in my age group and I beat him by .9 seconds.
