5K

Every day gets a little better. I was able to do a 5K plus (3.29 miles) in 36:30 and that gives me 11 minute/miles. That translates to a 34.38 minute time for the 5K; that was with my running (OK, jogging) for 2.5+ of those miles. I can also report that my quads felt the effects of my running with some hotspots in the muscles.

I’m not sure why, but the running seems to give me a real boost in my racewalking style. Perhaps it’s because it is such a relief to not be jarring your whole body with each step while running. I’ll keep on running, but my first love is always going to be racewalking.

And I dropped a pound…196.2
