Frustrating run yesterday

So I ran 5 miles, but for the first time since last summer I had to stop and walk for a bit.  Really frustrating (ended up 5 miles in an hour).  Could have been the sun, or the temperature (70 deg), or the 2-hr zoo visit previously, or the noon-time before lunch but it was annoying!

I need a goal, and am thinking about doing a half-marathon.  I just need to find one.

10k!

So I ran 10k today, in an hour (I "sprinted" the last couple of minutes to come in 10 seconds under an hour). I felt strong for almost all of it, except the last mile which got tough. An hour is about all I feel like taking the time to run right now, so I may start going to better my time. I am also going to look for some 5-mile runs around, to run with other people.

New personal record (a.k.a. PR)

5k in 26 minutes! It was a very good run, on a cloudy day threatening rain. Then I came home, had lunch, and dug a bunch of holes for Heidi's garden. Then, in a fit of fitness productivity, I installed a pull-up bar in the basement. I am also looking into some running clubs, who do weekly 5-mile runs. It does look like my plantar needs some attention... :P
