Another 5k

So I decided to go out for a run again this evening, and try to do a 5k in a shorter time. Turns out I was EXHAUSTED and I could not beat my time. I only ran for 2.8 miles in 30 minutes, and my pace was 10:33, about 10 seconds more than last time. I don't know what it was, but those last 10 minutes were the hardest..especially the last 2 minutes, they took forever to end! But I was determined to run for 30 minutes, no matter if I did a 5k or not.

Maybe it was the heat, or my muscles, or the food I ate... All I know is I'm proud that I at least went out there and tried today :)

My Second 5k

Last time I tried going for a run, it was raining, dark and wet. I was only able to do 1 mile before having to walk.

But today I tried again, and I increased my pace from my last 5k! I did it with an average pace of 10:23 compared to last time's 10:50 :)

It was not easy, I'm still waiting for the day when running 5k will be easy. Here is hoping!!

Run For Your Lives

My brother just signed me up for a 5K in October. That will be my first 5K, but the funny thing is it's not just a regular 5k. It's the "Run For Your Lives" obstacle course race. Not only it's an obstacle course but it is infested with Zombies! I am super excited and I really hope I am able to do it. After all, I have 5 months to train right?

Here is an article from TheFW that pretty much summarizes what's involved in this crazy race as well shows a video from last year's race, if you are interested in learning more.

Nothing better to motivate my c25k then imagining a bunch of zombies running after me!
