Run a 5k in 20 minutes

I finally ran an official sub 20 5K this morning with a 19:43 at the Father’s Day 5K in Fort Collins, CO. Now, I will need to see about going 18:30 for the next one and pick up my sub 6 min mile goal on the way.

I ran the 2008 Relay From Calistoga to Santa Cruz on 4/20/08. On Leg 32 I ran a 19:51 for the first 5K of the 4.7 mile course. This was my 3rd time running since the start of the relay. I was running near sea level and all down hill. I think that my recent training helped reach this milestone along with the downhill and elevation. I will keep this goal on my list until I can achieve it in an actual 5K race. Now that I know I can do it, I hope to go sub 20 on my next 5K.

I ran a 21:13 at the CSU homecoming 5K. Took 1:25 off my previous PR, will try again in November.
