Outside!! Whoo HOO!!

I want to do a 5k on Nov. 13, so today was a test to see how far I could run.....now I'm not going for 1st place as we have an Olympian who lives here & she wins ALL the runs.....kept a steady pace & actually did 2 miles....

I'm beat, but proud of myself.....

That's awesome!




You should be proud.

Congrats... if you are at 2 miles, you could def. run a 5K.

What race in on the 13th? I should get back into running, I have been using the bike or olpitical (sp?)... But I am pron to Stress Fractures

That's awesome! A goal AND a reward! Sounds like motivation to me! Just from my experience (shin splints every time I go a distance on a hard surface, ever since running track in Jr High) - make sure your shoes fit well and stretch out good before you start pounding the pavement!

Good tips, thanks!! I have a pair of new trail running shoes -- not "brand new haven't worn them yet" new but pretty new, so I'll wear them....
