More running

I ran another 5K race this morning: my first one since injuring my hamstring last winter. And I was delighted to be able to set a new personal record, finishing in 31:15 on a beautiful morning for a run (sixtyish, with a mild overcast but no preciptation) and thus handily beating my old record of 32:59 from the Big House Big Heart 5K I ran last September 30. Today's was at Gallup Park, a favorite spot to which we made several outings with my children when I was still in St. Joseph Hospital in 1993. Now the next race I expect to do is a 10K on June 1. The last 10K race I ran was the Cereal City Classic in Battle Creek, in 1992 - my time was roughly 47 minutes. But much has changed since then, not least of which is my age! (35 then, 51 now.) So this time I'll be looking to beat 1:05, although eventually I'd like to be able to get under an hour for 10K.
