I can only go as fast as my legs will take me...
More than four months after my first 5K, I finished my second one. Sunday was the GW Parkway Classic - a local race in my own town. Under overcast skies and in 50 degrees weather with 96% humidity, I dropped more than 3 minutes off my previous 5K time (finished in 32:35), and ran my fastest pace yet (10:39). Let me tell you, I could feel the burn and adrenaline in the last mile...To try and continue running towards my goal of the half marathon this fall, I'm running in this Sunday's Sallie Mae 10K in Washington. It's supposed to be a gorgeous weekend, so there is definitely the potential to improve from my previous 10K time.
I really need to work on running faster. Then running a lot of miles wouldn't take so long.
(Thanks to Steve for taking the pictures from the race. He's my favorite cheerleader.)

I love your logic. "If I run faster, it won't take so long."
