Going backwards???

This is sooooo embarrassing, that's it's not even funny. The first time I run 10K I made it in less than 56 minutes, so it was obvious to me that the next time I'll only be better.
WRONG!
I just hope that this was just a combination of getting too late to the track, and not being up to my best. What really was not right, I'll probably never know. I'll have another shot at a 10K next weekend during coaches run, with TNT - I just hope it will be better than the first one. For now I have to live with defeat and the lap splits below:

So for now I'll just keep running and try to get better so that I can erase the memory of not getting better result from the time before.
On the other hand on the fund-raising front, I had a wonderful week, last week and I'm getting closer to the finish everyday. I have over 60% of funds raised and I have several hundred dollars more lined up with matching donations that were made by my colleagues from work. I'm way ahead of any goals that I could think of so far!

THANK YOU TO ALL THE GENEROUS DONORS!

On the breaking news front, my wonderful wife signed up with the TNT cycling team, and she will try to beat me, by raising $4200 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. She will ride the Honolulu Century this year - that's 100 miles in a bike saddle!
This is a really lofty goal and she will need all our support so please be generous to her too! To donate please follow the link below:

I hope she can get her goals accomplished, and successfully finish the race!
