come on sizzle, that 29'29 is the best I have ever run (of course, the first 5K that I ever ran was about 2 months ago :)

I don't know how many times I'm going to have to say it before everyone believes me...I am not fast. My marathon PR is 3:46. My half mary PR is 1:43. I'm typically in the top 15% at most races I run, but that's hardly earth shattering. I routinely get my butt kicked by old men, and young mothers pushing strollers. I'm just a hack, trying hard to keep from getting fat (again).

Yes, fastest 5k by the end of summer. Let me know your screen name and I'll invite you.

My goal is to get into the 22 minute range by end of summer. Right now your time would put you in the lead by 2 minutes but runnercoug has only posted one run and he ran 24 miles the day before.

Hey, I'm quite proud of that time. It was after a 10 year break after making a 4500 gain in elevation. With practice, I'm pretty confident I get under 35 minutes, easy. Maybe I'll even do 1k of it without the 4wheeler.

In fairness, I probably have a little advantage, as running is in my blood. My sister ran track and CC for BYU, making second team AA one of her years in both sports. My brother is a national class triathlete. I'm the bum of the family, athletically speaking.

I also ran sub 17 once in college(it was downhill, but you don't have to know that). Now I haven't run sub 20 in many decades, but it would be fun if it didn't hurt so bad. During intervals this morning I ran six minute miles that made me puke. So sub twenty isn't coming any time soon. My days of fast running are behind me not in front of me. There are days when I struggle to do a 24 at the end of a long run as well. So with age, one's time is not as consistent.

I would like in, even though I don't have the nano yet. still working on that one.

I am running a 10 k tomorrow morning so I will cut that time in half.

Also I did a sprint tri earlier this year and the 5 k from that was 21:48, so at least I have a base time.

You're welcome to post your times here and we'll let you know where you stand. But until you get that Nano, no electronic trophy for you pal.

Have we ever figured out if you can have more than one user for the same nano?

After the death ride next week, I plan to lace on the old running shoes again after taking 6 months off and would like to use the Nike+ to track my running. If it will work, I will definitely want in.

BTW, is your challenge private? I was trying to look it up last night and couldn't find it.

1) Yes, you can have more than one user for the same nano, but you have to buy your own chip. What's $30 to a rich business owner like you though?

2) You have to be invited to see my challenge. I never posted it. Go buy the friggin' chip and let's get you in there.
