Today is the Race
I’m as ready as I can be for my 2nd 5K. Since I have a 45 minute drive to the race location, I think I will eat a small breakfast. Current temperature is 78 degrees with 83% humidity… going to be a real sweaty race. To bad the race wasn’t last weekend when the cold front came through and temperatures were done in the low 60’s… I’ll post a pic or send a link to pics once I finish today… Did I mention there are cupcakes at the end of the race? Who won’t run for cupcakes?
Back on track?
Didn’t run this morning cause I woke up with a bad chest cold… A full day of activity and some cold meds and I was up for the challenge of running this afternoon/evening in the heat. On a side note, when does fall start its still so dang hot… I’m trying to remember what my first 5K time was. I think this is it… well at least its a 5K, might not be the Turkey Trot (46 min 32 sec).
Here is today’s run. Did an 11 min mile my best so far. 🙂

On another side note, Endomondo app shows I need to drink 40oz of fluids, I assume beer doesn’t count ? 😦
2 weeks left… making contingency plans
Tried to run 5K this morning.. EPIC FAIL.. I really haven’t been putting my best effort toward training, so I only have myself to blame. In the words of Yoda, “Do or do not, there is no try” so I will run everyday this week and go just a bit further each day. I know I can walk the 5K, but I really want to run 60% of it at this point… so 3K running 2K walking.

Been gone a week
Well, not really gone, but been really lazy and haven’t run or walked. Just started again today… only 3 weeks to get ready for the 5K on Oct 13th. Don’t think I will be able to run the whole thing… but there are still 3 weeks to try 🙂

Check In
Well, I’m averaging a 7min Kilometer, so if I can keep breathing I’ll be done in 35 minutes for my 5K. I guess I better try a practice 5K this weekend and see how long I can actually continuously run.
1.5 miles in 19min
Title says it all. Now if I can just have enough breath to do the other 1.5 miles to complete a 5K I’ll be done in 40 minutes. However, I’m going to try for better seeing as I finished my first 5k in 44 minutes, shaving 4 minutes off my time isn’t enough. I’m going to keep doing these 2n2 intervals this week and see what shape I’m in on Saturday.

Lost track of the day…
I don’t have a clue nor do I care what day this is. I’m pretty sure that is because my new 2-2 interval just kicked my butt. I can’t seem to get my lungs to cooperate with me I’m always out of breath that last 2 medium intensity section. I’ll give the interval another try in a day or 2.
Here are the numbers:

Back on Track
I went walking yesterday for 30 minutes. Today I started over on my interval training, the easy one. I can say that compared to 2 weeks ago, I made it to the last 1 minutes medium and wasn’t too out of breath. I hope the next time I use it I can complete the whole thing without breathing heavier than if I just fast walked that distance. So here is the data, seems that cut/paste from endomondo.com works. Something keeps causing an error when I try to share. oh well. Time for a shower, breakfast and my 2nd day back at work. Don’t ask about the 1st day 😦
