Last Sunday was the Jingle Bell run. There was a 5k and a 10k. It has been a while since I have done a 5k and I have a 10k race in Detroit next week (Turkey Trot). So I went for the 5km. The Jingle Bell race was in Essex (Canada), about 30 minutes from home.

I almost passed out from my effort, but I did get the time I was aiming for: anything below 20 minutes. That means a 4:00 /km pace. I passed the finish line at 19:58, 2 seconds shy of my goal. That performance was good for a 6th place out of 300 participants. My previous record was 20:50. It’s nice to see an improvement after a summer of training.
