I PB'd again! (Barrhaven 5k)

For beginners, penguins, re-beginners, social types and the more low key runners for whom Boston is a tea party, not a race in the near future

I PB'd again! (Barrhaven 5k)

Postby rdmsgirl » Sat Jun 12, 2010 8:23 pm

Wow, I was happy with my PB at National Capital, but this race surprised me - I finished in 32:07, a whopping 2 mins and 50 seconds off of my time at Ottawa Race Weekend!!! And I got to meet a Maniac too! What a fantastic day! :D
If only I could love running as much as I love yoga....

So, this is where you hid your race report, rdmsgirl ...

Congratulations, on a great race and smashin' PB, ta boot ... :clap: :clap: :clap:

Must've been one lucky Maniac that you got to meet on Saturday :shifty: ... though, there were at least 3 or 4, if I recall :think: :think: :think:
