Today was my first 5k race. My PR during training was 28:06, but I ran a 27:32 this morning during the race to set a new PR. In the preliminary results, I finished 104th overall and 10th in the M 30-34 age group. I felt good during the entire race. I went out too fast, clocking the first mile in 8:10. I slowed the pace down a little and ran a 9 minute second mile and completed the race at a 9:30-10:00 pace. I now know what to do before the race and what it is like during the race. That knowledge will help me when I run my next 5k sometime in November.
In baseball news, Ryan Howard is a Braves killer. He hit two home runs last night to lead the Phillies to a 9-4 victory over the Braves. Howard is batting .344 with 7 HR and 14 RBI in 16 games against the Braves this season. Tim Hudson started for Atlanta and pitched well, giving up 3 runs in 7 innings of work. The weary bullpen gave up 6 runs over the last 2 innings to put the nail in the coffin. The Braves are 4.5 games behind the Rockies in the wild card race with 15 games left.
