GimmeMedals Feb 2021 9:25pm, 23 Feb 2021 19,969 posts	0 GimmeMedals I've put mine in so you can see what I mean. If you'd rather not, that's fine x
jennywren Feb 2021 9:31pm, 23 Feb 2021 16,490 posts	0 jennywren You can put mine in GM - 31.27
Alice the Camel Feb 2021 9:41pm, 23 Feb 2021 6,659 posts	0 Alice the Camel Could you add me please GM? Started the year at 36:43, today’s 5k was 36:04.
Lip Gloss Feb 2021 9:53pm, 23 Feb 2021 49,237 posts	0 Lip Gloss 1st Jan ran 28.58 but struggling to get under 32 these last few weeks. Hopefully will try Dvorak’s k trial
Evangel Feb 2021 9:55pm, 23 Feb 2021 3,298 posts	0 Evangel Lin, that's a great effort. With better weather conditions etc. you'll soon reduce that.
Dvorak Feb 2021 10:09pm, 23 Feb 2021 22,032 posts	0 Dvorak Good going, lin I thought about trying a mile today. If the 30 mph wind had been in the right alignment I might have, but the rain rather put me off I may have to redeclare my 1K time - looking at the gps trace, it was a bit off. 5:30 then, which I am 97.5% as pleased with. Good luck to any other mono-Kers. Check the wind direction You can put my 2021 best in the sidebar, GM: 32:34.
Rosehip Feb 2021 11:24pm, 23 Feb 2021 19,794 posts	0 Rosehip MY best benchmark 5K for this year is 35.40 - I don't think I could push myself to run a fast 5K on my own - I might give it a go at some point as I'd like to know what I can do - but not whilst it's windy.

GimmeMedals Feb 2021 10:23am, 24 Feb 2021 19,970 posts	0 GimmeMedals I hope I've added everyone and their times correctly - if there's any errors or omissions, let me know Lip Gloss, I put your time down as 32:00 but can change it to your SB if you'd prefer.
