yes, now have a cookie and go train some more

I am also a freshman boy. My best time this year was 20:35. If somebody is actually asking whether 17:30 is good or not, they are a complete dumba$$.

Hey, I ran a 3:45 mile the other day.  Is that an okay time for someone who's 43 years old?  It think I could have done better if I hadn't just eaten a entire pizza and liter of Coke just before.  Oh, and did I mention I only started running last week.  I actually thought about taking up running a few weeks before, but I've been in the hospital recovering from brain surgery.  It seems the headaches I've been experiencing lately (or since I completed my acsent of Mt. Everest in 15 hours; anyone think that's good?)  were due to swelling of my brain.  The doctors said they had to remove a large part of something called "myego."  But they assured me I had plenty to spare.

You know, there are some of us that take our accomplishments very seriously and there are those who just take "themselves" seriously. Then there are those of us who just enjoy the fun and challenge of putting in a good training run.

Enjoy your 17:30 5K PR, but try not to burn yourself out.
