by Tony August 11, 2008

…and a new Personal Record! I beat my previous 5K best by 32 seconds. My official time was 26:23, but by my watch it was 26:20! And that new PR was set on the worlds hilliest 5K course* the day after I was attacked by a goat! That’s right attacked by a goat. We took [...]

Celebration Time

by Tony June 30, 2008
