After being "a bigger loser" recently, it was a real pleasure to be a small winner today. I ran a 5K today at McCormick's Creek State Park, and clocked my best time so far for a 5K—20 minutes 45.8 seconds. In terms of magnitude, I was only 10 seconds faster than my previous best time. However, this small achievement meant a lot to me, because I have been sick this entire week with severe cough and cold, and the running course—with all its hills—was not any easier than my previous races.
