New 5k PR

Achieved this last month, but the new PR is 25:08.  Soooooo close to finally breaking 25, but more work to do apparently.  Got this at the last Mustache Dash in Moundsville.  A very flat course, which helped and the weather was really good.  I won't call it ideal, but it wasn't scorching hot for sure.  Normally this race isn't a true 5k.  It was about 2.4 one year and 3.6 last year.  Mostly due to the laps being 1.2 miles, but this year they moved the start and on the last lap had you reverse course.  My mentality coming in wasn't to set a PR because it was never a true 5k.  But I did take it easy the week before and was able to actually run the entire race, which was a first.  Anyway still work to do, need to lose about 15-20 pounds. I keep telling myself the diet will kick in this week, but stuff keeps happening so the diet hasn't happened yet.  I have been doing more resistance training, but I think I need to get back to doing some core specific work at least twice a week.  Still have a couple of shots at sub 25 this year, but it is going to take some luck and planning.
