Road Race Series 5Miler 1

So yesterday was the day.  5 miler 1. But I'm going to start off with Friday night.

Friday night I decided it was time to kick the excuses.  "It's too hot." "I don't want to run in the dark."  No more.  So I joined a gym.  I get unlimited classes, 24 hour access and treadmills with televisions in them.  So no more excuses.  I ran 2 miles Friday and it felt good.

Then comes to Saturday.  I really need to work strength training into my schedule, and the gym offers Group Power and Group Core, so I decided to go to Group Power on Saturday morning.  It's basically constant lifting for an hour.  Bad idea the day before the 5 miler.

I was pretty sore on Sunday morning, but it wasn't too bad.  I had to walk a little while not only because of the soreness, but also because of the humidity.  That was the worst part.  I was shooting for an hour, and I was a little slower than that.  I'm trying to not let it get to me, but it still bothers me.

Let's have a look:


I really wish I could get my pace under 12 mpm.  Last summer I could.  A little upsetting.

Then I spent the rest of the day and this evening eating junk food and laying around.  Not good.

Must remember:
