New personal best 1K time

As part of a Nike+ challenge that I'm participating in, I set out to improve my 1K personal best today. I went to a nearby high school's track and ran a 5'24" 1K, which improves on my previous PR 1K time of 6'15". However, I meant to complete a 5K run but the fast first K took so much out of me that I couldn't continue to run past 3K.

Lesson learned. I registered for my first ever race, a 5K in August and now I know that I have to very careful about starting out too fast.
