November 2010!! That was my first and only post so far. Not much of a blogger obviously. I read other blogs, but I don't take the time to write on mine. I'm going to try and do better. There has been a lot of running going on since November 2010. I'll try to catch things up and document things here. If nothing else it will give me the chance to recap for myself what I've accomplished since I started running. My first and only post before this one mentioned that I had run two 5K's since finishing my Couch to 5K program and before I was scheduled to run the St Jude's 5k in December 2010.
My very first race was the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure in September 2010. My goal was to finish without walking. I did it! I was extremely happy with that. I know I'll never be the fastest guy on the course. But my time for that first race was 32:19! Not bad for a 58 year old first time runner...at least IMHO. The other 5K was a race sponsored by the area Boys&Girls Club. That went okay, but I wasn't expecting a one mile section that was essentially a trail run...at least in my mind. Totally unprepared for that!! My time was...35:48. Not nearly as good as race #1, but again...that trail part nailed me. Well, I'll continue catching things up over the next few days...hopefully. St Jude's report is next...Stay tuned.
