Third to Last in 5K Race ;)

Well, at least I didn’t come in last and I ran faster than I thought I would.

Today I ran in the 5K race in Velika Gorica, just outside of Zagreb. It was very nice weather for running–Sun, light breeze, 16 C (or about 61 F). I was so afraid I would come in last or end up quitting in the middle. I haven’t run a race in 10 years and I didn’t prepare very well for this one, but I did ok. I ran about 31 minutes (very slow for those of you who know how fast a 5K should be run). My fastest time ever in the 5K was around 21:30 about 11 years ago. I hope to one day get close to that again :)

This time I ran in just under 31 minutes. My next goal is to run the 5K in under 30 minutes.

Dinko ran the half marathon and did excellent. Check out his Race Report.
