Today happens to be Husband's 47th B'day. We kicked off the birthday celebration by running the Sweetheart Run 5K.I didn't have much in the way of expectations, mostly wanted to do better than I did at this race 2 years ago (33mins). And to be honest, this is the first time I've run outside in about 2 months, so I wasn't entirely sure that I was going to be able to achieve that goal.
It went well. I'll update the sidebar when I results are posted. The unofficial time per my watch is 30:28 which works out to an average pace of something like 9:49 min/mi. Did I read that right?!? [Updated: Official Result is 30:14, 9:41 min/mi. Woot!!]
I'm definately sold on strength work now. The thing that held me back was my cardio fitness level, not my legs. I need to get my lungs back. The running hiatus has ended.
I told you that February was going to be a good month. :-)
Good luck on the race! Guess i missed that one..

Way to go Lisa! I love hearing that you actually shaved off almost 3 minutes. I have none of the timing gear to check my stats, but oh well. I am trying to build the weights into my workouts and a little endurance. I'm excited for July!!! Oh Lord, I hope I complete it and far surpass my goals....
ReplyDeleteTell your husband Happy Birthday! It was my old roommates birthday yesterday too. But our celebration wasn't as noble. We went and ate a really heavy Hungarian meal Saturday night....oh well, it was fabulous!!
Great job on the race - awesome way to celebrate!
