I posted a few weeks about about trying to finally run a 5K is less than 30 minutes. You all gave great advice. Well, my race was supposed to be last Saturday, but it was postponed to this Saturday due to ice. I was already registered to run a 10-mile race today, but *that* race was postponed due to flooding on the greenway. So I ran the 5k as originally planned.

Both of the girls I went with are a little faster than me, but I ended up being ahead at the start, which was uphill. At the end of the first mile, one of the girls passed me. The other was right on my heels the whole time. She was also trying to go sub-30. I slowed down a bit for the second mile and then really picked it up around 2.5 miles.

My splits were 9:35, 10:05, 9:03 and 8:12.

Chip time: 29:16! I did it!

Thank you for all of your support and advice. You were definitely in my head during the race.

But now I have to run 10 miles tomorrow. And we are going out for my birthday tonight. Oof.
