Worth the Hurt

The official times are in and looks like I clocked the SF 5K at 28:42 which is a decent 9+ mile a minute. 9:15 to be exact.

I finished in the top 17% overall.

Top 11% women.

Top 12% women ages 30-39.

For comparison, I ran the Kaiser 5K in February at 31:49. This was when my back was cracked!

I ran the Carneros Vineyard 5K in March at 31:11. One crazy uphill climb at the very end.

So I’m getting better. Even though I’m aging and feel like crap, I’m improving. That’s incentive!
