Today was my first 5 miler and my first race in Philly. I definitely had pre-race jitters this morning, but I had an amazing time and crushed my time goal. Earlier in the week, I had done 5 miles in Florida in just under an hour, so my goal was to beat my time of 59:30. Today, my garmin said 53 minutes for 5.07 miles, so really closer to 52 minutes. I am extremely happy with that!
