I ran the 6K that year, and every year since then I have run the 12K. 2013 was my fastest 12K there, and every year since then has seen me go progressively slower. This year, I really wanted to reverse that trend, so I made beating last year\u2019s time my one and only race goal. And I did it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Not only did I beat last year\u2019s time, but I also beat my times for the last several years. Fastest since 2015.
