Race report: Wild Duck 5k

Did a 5K cross-country race today in 27:48, which is 8:57/mile.  Nothing hurt, so I was pleased. I finished last (of 5) in my age group - which is appropriate for someone who has averaged 8 miles per week over the last 2 months.  I hope to get my mileage up to 12 miles per week (don't want to over-use the artificial hip joint). If I can do that, and lose 30 pounds, and find a slightly downhill course with good footing and a tailwind, I might be able to get under 8:00/mile for a 5K.  Or not.
