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 😦

Off Task
Well I got off task for the last few days. Working on getting back to an exercise schedule. Would be nice if the endomondo app could post here like it does to facebook.
