April’s 5K by the 5th
April 4, 2013
Today was April’s Virtual 5K by the 5th run. Laura, from the mommyrunfast.com website, is ordering medals we can purchase. I am signed up for a medal. I do love my bling.
My run time today was awesome. 34:12. I averaged 11:20 minute miles. I was going too fast for me though. My breathing was labored after the first mile and I had side stitches after 2 miles. My usual running pace is much slower, more like 13 to 14 minute miles. I wanted to get a good time in April because next month will be just days after the Eugene Half-Marathon and I won’t be able to push the envelope. You are not supposed to do much running right after a marathon or half-marathon, in my case, to give your body a chance to recover.
Running Goals for 2013
1. 5K by 5th Virtual Run Series – I’m running/walking a 5K each month for 5 months. 
Another Wonderful Sailing Trip
Today the winds were at 15 mph when we started out. The water was choppy with white caps. 
New Day
I did some reading last night that gave me encouragement. The books I read are Runner’s

April 8, 2013Wow! Way to go pushing the pace! That's what my 5ks feel like when I "race" them... hard breathing, and I wanna quit. :) I'm so glad you're excited about the medals!

April 8, 2013Thanks Laura for the encouragement. I cannot believe I've become a "runner". Never thought I'd be able to say that. I'm looking forward to seeing what out medals will look like! Thanks again.
