#running 5k

[bicyclingismyhobby]

My 14 year old grandson and I did a thing on Saturday. We ran a 5k. He just recently decided he wanted to start joining me on my runs. The first 5k we ran together, he came in at 38 minutes or so. This is his second and he made quite an improvement. I haven't been running all summer, so I am happy just to finish and not be last. We are going to start training together to do a 10k in the spring.

Wait, he is as tall as I am, I never noticed that before. LOL

How long should it take a beginner to run 5K? - Furness Active

For runners, competing in a 5K race has become a favorite goal. It is because the distance is short enough that even beginners can build up enough stamina, strength, and skill to be ready to compete in a few months. No matter if you are beginner to running or a seasoned athlete; you may have wondered how long it’s likely …

Ran my first 5k by accident!

Well, actually it was closer to 4 miles but I did it!

What you have to understand is I run a mile and then give up but I was inspired to push myself. My running to walking ratio is usually about 40/60 walking to running, but today for every minute I walked I ran for ten. Even with asthma and hypermobile joints, all things are possible.

c25k: week 7, day 1

(September 9th, 2013.)

2.84mi/4.57km.

Basically the same thing as week 6, day 1... except that because of //school// I didn't feel like making time to run. School is awful. It's sucks the life out of you. So after a couple days of homework and inactivity, I backtracked a tiny bit, just a 'lil bit. It's okay, I'm back now :)

What I love right now...

07/16/2013

My latest obsessions include (but aren't limited to):

Hannibal (tv show, not the movie...thought that was worthless)

Diet Coke (especially from McDonald's. they have the BEST fountain soda)

Miche Bags (LOVE fashion and purses - collecting them all)

Tumblr (how did I not realize this existed?  it's awesome!)

Dresses (no, I'm not skinny but dresses really do look good on everybody if you choose the right one.  Ask Stacy London if you don't believe me.)

"Dirty Hot" men (I am claiming that I coined this phrase.  basically it refers to men who are not clean shaven or are rugged in some way.  best examples: Hugh Dancy in Hannibal, Joel Kinneman in the Killing, Andrew Lincoln in the Walking Dead.  yum.)

5K races (I'm not fast nor can I run the darn thing...yet, but I do love the feeling of competing and knowing I'm not last.  get better with each race...that's all I can ask for.)
