Results from the 5K
Doug
I ran my first 5K this fourth of July. Overall, it felt pretty good … just a little pain on the last mile or so, but I finished. It was fun to run it with my sister-in-law, Traci, and brother-in-law, Darrel. Afterwards we found out where we finished in our age division (30-39).
Traci – Gold Medal (1st in women ages 30-39) … pretty impressive Traci!
Darrel – Silver Medal (2nd in men ages 30-39) … only lost to a track coach
Me – Bronze Medal (3rd in men ages 30-39) … not bad for my first 5K
My girls thought the bronze medal was pretty cool. I guess it felt good as a dad to hand them my medal and let them wear it … even though it was a bronze medal won from a little race in Buffalo Center, Iowa! Oh well, you gotta start somewhere!

It sure was a good thing I didn’t run the race because you wouldn’t have had anyone to take the picture. That, and I probably would’ve taken the gold away from Trace! Yah, right. (do they have a medal for the last place in the 30-39? if so, I’ll run it next year!)

Z,
Haven’t got the official time yet … it’ll be shown in the Buffalo Center Newspaper soon! From what I hear the top 3 runners are listed in each age division.
But as I crossed the line I remember glancing at the scoreboard and it read 24:36. Not bad … something to build on. What time are you shooting for bro?

18 reps at 170 and sub 20min on the 5K. I did 17 and 19:45, 5 years ago. Got to get a PR so I can convince myself that I still got it!
Pump and Run goes down on Saturday.
