I ended up matching my 5K time from last week anyway, which was great to see. Now I need to rest, let my body recover, and see what I can do when it actually counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My goal is to finish the 5K in under 24 minutes. I think that&#8217;s going to be tough, but that&#8217;s really what I&#8217;m pushing for.
