The 2006 Hamilton Hangover 5 Mile Run had very nice weather this year. I finished in 33:26, a pace of 6:41, which placed me 30th out of 353 finishers. Last year’s time for the same race was 36:09, a pace of 7:15. So, I improved by almost three minutes.
I finished in 3:21:08, a pace of 7:40.9. This is a 24 minute improvement over my previous finishing time of 3:45:18, 8:39.9 pace. One of my goals in the next few years is to qualify for the Boston Marathon. For my current age (and gender), I need a time of 3:10 to qualify for Boston.

This is a 47 minute improvement from last year.
