Hitting the Reset Button

I think this is the second time I have had a blog post with this title, but this  time, I will be literally and figuratively hitting that button.  In about 9 days I will be entering a new age-group.  What better time to kick off a new phase of running and to reset my Garmin, wiping all the PR's that I have accumulated over the past few years?  Besides a marathon PR from 2 years ago is no longer a PR, it's hanging on to the past.  What fun will it be to wipe the slate clean and have my Garmin congratulating me on a regulars basis, "longest run!" "Fastest 5K!"  My July mile race will be a PR, the Torchlight 5K will be a PR.  I can't wait to turn 55!

Speaking of age groups, I raced the Brian Kraft 5K on Monday, my last race in the 50-54 AG.  Pretty happy with the result of 18:47, considering how little running I have been doing.  However, I am back to running 5 days per week, still at pretty minimal mileage.  The plan is to focus on some quality running and perform well at the Richard Hoska Mile and the Torchlight 5K.  From there I can turn my attention to the TC 10 Mile!
