3.12 miles in 33'12"

with a little prodding from me, my wife (sort of) wanted to run tonight. she put on her old c25k workout podcast and away we went.

we walked up to allen street and over one block and then started running a 5K route she'd done a couple of times before. i couldn't remember all the twists and turns, so i let her lead. my legs were still sore from this morning's half mary, so her pace was pushing me a bit.

about half way through our run, she asked me, "are we running slow?" i told her i had no idea. i was struggling a bit to keep moving, so i was not the person to ask.

we looped down around the south and then headed north on main street. it was there that i realized my wife was headed for a personal best time. she picked up the pace when we neared the railroad tracks. we could hear a train in the distance and didn't want to be stopped by the signals.

up and over the tracks, we turned east. two blocks to go and we were at 32 minutes. her best 5K to date was 34'01" in haviland at the end of october. i urged her on and we ran the last block at a much higher pace. we hit garfield and i stopped the clock. her new best time: 33'12"! woohoo! that's 49 seconds faster than her previous PR. she's amazing!
