Ran the Microsoft Charity 5k last week... it was a lot of fun to train for a short run. I was trying to get a fast speed (was bragging that I would make sub-6min)! Needless to say, there was no sub-6min miles had by me, I was 49 seconds more than that on average, but I still finished 15th in my age group which isn't too bad.

As a longer distance runner, it was fun to focus on a shorter faster race, I definitely recommend the change up.
