A PR!!!   5K run in 23:58 for 7:43 pace per mile.

I ran this 5K at 10:01am.  The 3.11 miles was run at 7:39 pace per mile in 23:47. 

The Official Results has the time as 23:58 for 7:43 pace per mile.  I came in 101 out of 570 (Top 18%).  Of course I will go with the official results. 

My previous 5K PR (December 2009) was 24:31 for 7:53 pace per mile. 

Thus I took 33 seconds off of my 5K time!

I have B.L. to thank for this.  He is the person who suggested I run 30-40 miles per week with the suggested 35-37-40-33 miles for week 1-4 and repeat for weeks 5-8.  He also suggested the quality workouts I have been doing (tempo, Cruise Intervals for the mile, 10 mile long runs, and the 10x100s).  And he suggested I consider 5Ks and 5 Milers as  Fall races.  I am in Week 7 now.  I am planning minor adjustments for Week 9-12 (bring mileage to 35-45 miles per week, do 10x200s versus 10x100s, adjust paces for various workouts based on proven improved fitness).

Right now, I am simply working on CONSISTENCY with putting in the miles along with some quality workouts.

Great run! That's a big PR, you're going to continue tearing things up on the roads. I'm sure of it.
