PVTC By George 5k on Saturday, Feb. 18: I have no legitimate and official time because the lead runner cut the course accidentally, and the next few runners, including me, followed him. At the end my Garmin said I ran 2.94 miles at 6:04 pace in 17:48. That should translate to 18:5- if my watch had the distance right. Anyway, I hadn't tried running fast in over a month, and it was a shock. I wasn't able to push very hard because I was unused to how it feels. But it's a good sign that I was able to run that fast anyway. A return to speedwork should now help me handle a faster pace.
