A new LIFETIME PR!
The last time I set one (in an event that wasn't completely new) was 2004. Early 2004. I broke this one by 1:23, the post-college one by 3:19. Weeeeee!
This was a great race in Columbus, IN. I've never really been there, except to go through on the way between Bloomington and Louisville. I was very impressed with the race overall. The only probably was that the last couple of miles of the 5K and the 15K were on the same stretch, a narrow park path. There was a bit of dodging involved, but not a big deal.
The plan was to go out around 8-8:10/mile and hold that as long as I could. The first mile was way too fast at 7:31, but the rest were in good range except for the last two. My overall pace was 8:11, for 1:16:19. According to Mark, I was 9th overall among women. It wasn't a huge race, but it was good-sized, so I'm pretty excited about it. I feel much better about the coming marathon. Time to celebrate!!
I was going so fast that I was blurry! :-P
This was a sculpture near the finish line that I just really liked. You can't really tell from this picture, but there are flowers twined all along the tendrils of the lady's train.

Congratulations, Mir. What an awesome race! Way to pull off that new PR. You rock!
Nice job! A PR is always very nice. Sounds like you have a nice head of steam going into your marathon. Keep it rolling!
Congrats on the new PR. That's a nice effort. I ran that race two years ago (a couple minutes slower than you just ran it).
It's a nice race. I should really try to make it over next year.

Congradualtions on the PR! It always feels good to run fast and break a personal record after tons of LSD training for a marathon. Good luck at the upcomming marathon. Under 4 hours your goal?
Whoo hoo! Sweet PR! You really ran a fast pace, and sounds like you were pretty consistant. Great job on the big PR! You should be feeling sooo good about your upcoming marathon!
