my workouts seem so easy compared to some of the ridiculous ones you guys post about haha. My official time was 17:14 but it was a 3.0 mile course. i'm hoping to break 17 next week at our home official 5k course since its gonna be against a good team. good luck breaking 16. tahvo, congratulations. improvement can come very quickly in running, especially distance running. look at some of my old posts.. just last year i was in the 19's and 20's for every meet. second meet of the season this year i'm down to low 17s.
