I’ve been slacking a bit lately on my blogging but it’s because I’ve been very busy! I’ve been training a lot for the St. Luke’s Half Marathon in April as well as busy with work, redecorating my apartment (priorities!), and I went on a four day vacation with my mom and sister down to Charleston, South Carolina. But no worries, I’ll be back to blogging soon hopefully!
With that said, I managed to run a local 5K yesterday and set an 11-second PR- without trying whatsoever. I’m not trying to brag at all but I went into this race thinking, I’m just going to run it for fun. I’ve been training for my upcoming half marathons so I’m not in 5K shape but I really did surprise myself when I crossed the finish line and saw the shiny new PR on my watch! If anything it gives me extra confidence for the half because honestly, training hasn’t felt so great lately. Happy running this week!

Congrats on the PR – and good luck with the training!
Thanks so much Jason!
Congrats! I love those unexpected PRs! I got one of those in December when I was training for Dopey Challenge. I surprised my mom and went to visit her for her 60th Birthday and she wanted to run a local 5k. We both ended up PR’ing and she won her age group. It was a happy birthday indeed. :)
Thanks! Unexpected PRs are the best :-)
Congrats on the PR. Sometimes beautiful things happen when we don’t expect. Keep it up!
Thank you!
I would love to get an unexpected PR!! Well done, and good luck in your preparation and Half Marathon race too!
Congrats on the PR! Sometimes the races you go in without goals (usually less stress) turn out to be the best!
