DadTo2 152 Posted September 23, 2012 I did it. I ran the Plano Balloon Festival 5K this morning and accomplished both of my goals. I ran the whole thing without stopping to walk (goal number 1), and I finished it in under 35 minutes (goal number 2). My official time was 34:27:55 and I came in 299 out of 1000 runners. My average speed was 5.5 mph. 8 bethxxx, cali4nan, sleeved080212 and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
