My goal is to get in next years 5k. I intervalled 5k ok the treadmill today at the gym. What is considered a decent pace to target?

Knocked off around 30 minutes from last years time. Of course I was almost 3 bills last year and am down to 250 and that helped a lot. My knees are killing me but had a blast. I missed the rain once it stopped. Only casualty appears to be my iPod Touch. I had it in a zipplock bag but it appears to have gotten wet.
I passed a guy around mile 10 that had chaffed his inner legs so bad blood was running all the way down his legs I felt really bad for him.

Did anyone use gels? If so, how beneficial are they?
My uncle gave me these things called Nip Guards that are basically adhesive pads that go over your nipples to prevent chaffing. They seem to be pretty legit. I'm sure any running/fitness store would have them. He also gave me some of that body glide, so I'll be trying that out.
What's w/ all this talk about nip guards and body glide? A $.05 bandaid will work just fine.
Anyone have any good suggestions for ways to track runs? Some Ipods have GPS in them don't they?

You can plot your course on here and get your mileage, works pretty good for me. I am not hi-tec enough for GPS.
Nike + Run will do the same if your iPod is compatible and you put the chip in your shoe.
I saw a guy walking around the finish area wearing a white shirt with each nipple bleeding through the shirt? I was happy to have only sore knees after seeing that.
I saw a lot of bloody nipples. Only my right nipple started bleeding. Bandages over the nips next year.
I'm thinking a good pair of compression shorts will be in order next year. Had some leg chaffage, but not like the dude who was bleeding. That sounds really painful.
The farthest I'd run while training was 8 miles, so I'm a little surprised that my muscles aren't sore today. I'm really, really tired though.
