I did a 5K this morning in Houston. I was expecting the humidity but I was breathing water. Anyway I did ok. 31:57. Kinda slow but I kept running. I feel great now, now that it is over and I'm back home. That is all.


...and yes I want a cookie

 

5k = 2.5 miles right?

 

3.1

 

is that a pr for you? how long have u been running?

 

Sweet, I did a 5k about two years ago, and was surprised I pulled a 28:32. I am just starting to run again.

I know. That's a wee bit pathetic, but yes it is my pr. I'm only used to running 2 miles (from my military days). I run on the treadmill often for 1 mile in the gym and ran 3 miles every Saturday for 3 weeks before the event.

I'm just glad I trained. My friend, who doen't even stay in shape ran a 26:22 I feel like I need to improve.

 

It isn't about the time, it is about getting done, and having fun.

I am sure there was lots of people that came in behind you.

I used to run them a lot back in the day. I'm pondering getting back in to shape to do them again.

Great job on your first race!

 

Thanks man. You're right.

 

Thanks!

 

Good job... time for a ~40K marathon....

I ran my first marathon in Texas, so I feel your pain... It was in August with 100% humidity and 86 degree heat... I felt like dying, but finished under 2.75 hours. It was quite an achievement, one of the most proudest moments I've ever had.

 

That's a great time. My boss just ran in the Chicago Marathon and finished in 3:13. He barely qualified for the Boston one. Averaging 6 and a half minute miles for 26 miles is quite an achievment.
