Running..........


Well I said I was going to add some running to my exercise program (like I have a program). This morning Angie , Austin and I went to Elizabethton to Sycamore Shoals for a 5K. It was hosted by the ETSU Physical Therapists. There were 160 particaipants. I dont know what spot I finished in yet but I comlpeted the course in 29:48, that totally sucks for a 5K for me. I should be doing them in 27, last year I was. It was humid this morning at 8am also. I did well at first, started off with a nice slow pace and stayed steady. Passed several people after the 1.0 mile marker. I only got passed by three people before the finish. I thought I had a descent pace and was doing well until I came upon the timer at the end. I never caught Austin he darted off at the start and I got him back in my sights and thought I was going to reel him in. Then he seen me........... He was gone like a rocket after HE seen me. He kicked my but! Angie came in a couple of minutes after I did. I was sweating like a pig. Austin and Angie weren't :( . Oh well I keep building up a litte at a time and I should get my time down....I better! Tomorrow is some mountains on the road bike.....nice!
