Neither of these is a particular flattering photo, but I think the facial expression alone says a lot about how far I've come in a year. The photo on the left is from last year's Earlysville Turkey Trot, my first ever 5K. The one on the right is me last week, at the same race. I shaved 3 minutes off my time, finishing this year's race in 29:03. My PR for a 5K is much faster than that, but this course is 2/3 uphill, so I'm satisfied! I signed up for a 6.5K (why not just call it a 4-miler at that point?) weekend after next. Time to get serious about adding distance. Four months 'til my half marathon.
