I actually won a race a couple weeks ago. A small 5k in Nahant, for the YMCA. I settled into 2nd place after the first mile, hung out there for a bit and then managed to pass the leader with 1/4 mile to go. Awfully weird to be behind the police motorcycle. Almost blew up in the last few hundred yards but managed to hold on for the win. Obviously, a small field if I can win running 6 min pace, but I'll take it. I even got a $50 gift card to the Greater Boston Running Club, which I used to buy last years "on-sale" garmin watch. Very pleased with the effort, I actually think I might be able to dip under 6 min pace for a 5k on the right course, this one was hilly-makes me think if 18 flat is possible with the right training. I plan on sticking to the shorter stuff like this and trying to keep my mileage moderate w/ lots of core work, rolling, stretching etc.. results
