CVS 5K Year 5

Today I ran the 2008 CVS Caremark Downtown 5K. It was my fifth time; here are my results over the years:

2004 - 25:48, 870th place

2005 - 23:13, 432nd place

2006 - 22:27, 397th place

2007 - 20:14, 253rd place

2008 - 19:52, 225th place

I was quite pleased to set a new personal best. Under 19:00 next year? I have some thoughts of trying to prepare over the next four weeks to run this, but I haven't been running nearly the distances necessary to really be prepared, so I may look for a half-marathon instead, while also continuing to run 5Ks.

ADDED (9.22.08): Of course, we shouldn't forget the kids. Jack, feeling under the weather, gutted out the 4th grade 800m race in 4:23. Molly, frustrated by the lack of running room in her race, sped through the 2nd grade 200m race in 50 seconds. Yay kids!
