25:37 Bitches!!!!

Incredibly, unfathomably, the timer read 25:39 when I crossed the finish line of the Race for the Cure 5K. It took me a couple seconds to get to the start line, so at the very least I matched my PR from 2004).

I will admit, I finished less winded in 2004 (don't I look damn tired in this pic!), but after spending most of 2005-06 growing "soft" (from hip/ankle injuries and general laziness), I've managed in only only two and a half months (officially, July 1) of rather intense training to hit my 5K PR.

Go me!
