Any Way You Can 5K

My spring break was kicked off with a small 5K that was used as a race to get a PR in. It was my first 5K since Nocatee and I planned to shave off a decent amount of seconds of my 5k PR. I wasn't accompanied by my dad for this race. The race was a flat, fast course with some turns here and there. It was an event that a wheeled race that started 10 minutes before the run. The run had about 250 runners. I started off with my usual 6:40 1st mile. My split for 2 miles was 14:03. As the run meandered through the Oakleaf community, I approached the finish. I picked up the pace and passed three people. I finshed in 22:16, shedding 8 seconds of my previous 5K PR. I recieved the usual 1st place in my age group and 25th overall. This spring break I'm going to rack up a lot of mileage trying to beat my dad's record of 55 miles during his spring break two weeks ago. Our next race is Run for Cover 5K on May 3rd which is a possible sub-22 race for me and my dad. I will repost later this week with a report on how my mileage has been going. So long and keep running!
