Second 5k
The past week has been interesting running, my first training run was Tuesday night. Ashlee had a band concert on Tuesday evening that was very good but wasn't over until eight o'clock then went home and had to have dinner and wait for the kids to get in bed. Finally got out to run about quarter till ten. Basically the same sort of situation on Thursday, never got out until around nine thirty. Both of the runs were good runs I did right around two miles each time in under thirty minutes. Jump forward to this morning got up in plenty of time to get to where the 5k was. Started getting my stuff together had my running belt, iPod case, headphones, knee support, iPod and phone. I sat my phone and iPod down to grab something then left. Half way to the race location remembered I at left my phone and iPod sitting at home. Oh we'll guess I run without music and my interval timer. Got signed in and just walked around to get warmed up, did a few short run periods. Got lined up and at the start took off with the pack. Went out a little quicker than I should have but it still felt good. During the run I figured out a decent plan of run/walk, would pick out a land mark to run to then would walk until I felt ready to run. My goal was to break forty minuted, my finishing time was 39:20. I am proud of my time, sure it isn't going to win and awards but that isn't my goal. I will be doing another 5k at the beginning of November at that one I would like to get under thirty-five minutes. Then I plan on the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. Fourteen weeks until the Disney Half Marathon
