Melanie Does Life - get out the door :-)

I am a twenty-somthing girl that discovered a love for running in 2010. I ran my first half marathon in November 2011. Here you will find stuff about me, my life in FL, my running and whatever I feel like blogging.

Most of the time I will blog stuff in english and german. This way my folks in Germany can read everything as well. Thanks for visiting! I hope to see you again soon...

Sorry it took me the whole day to get back to you!

This morning I ran 2 miles before my 5K race. My training plan said I had to do 5 miles and I knew I wouldn’t do the extra miles after the 5K. At the 5K I went out way to fast and knew it right away. But I managed to keep a really fast pace for me until mile 2. Then I just had to slow down. I still managed to run faster than I thought I would. At the end I managed to run a new PR by 7 seconds.

gun time 36:50 - chip time 36:42

I placed 12 out of 25 in my age group and 377 out of 519 overall. I am so happy with this PR. Yesterday I said I wouldn’t be able to do this but today I managed to do it anyway! *happy*

Oh yeah, on the picture you can see the people from my group after the race. Some did the 10K, some the 5K. And many placed 1. to 3. in their age groups and holding their mugs.
