Saturday was the Children's museum 5k, my first race of 2008 - official time 34:47.
I have mixed feelings about it. It was my second fastest 5k ever, which means I haven't lost much from my 3 month hiatus from running. That's good!! However, I got passed by almost EVERYONE I know! I was passed by all my friends from my current training group, my buddies from last years half marathon, L and her husband, even the nun and the kids from st. charles home! It was kinda demoralizing! My stomach was feeling funky and my legs were feeling heavy.
So, although I am faster than I was LAST may, I'm still a slowpoke....i guess i need to just keep running!

About Me...
I am a new"ish" runner who had problems getting started with the habit of running. I am the kind of person who researched training plans, read books from the library, and read other people's blogs BEFORE I even started running. I'm a thinker, not a runner!
I created this blog, "Just Start Running," to record my running log and keep myself accountable. I post my runs (of course), lessons learned, good advice I've picked up from "experts," and some funny stories too.
Thanks for visiting me!

Point is that you are only really competing against yourself....doesn't matter how manny people pass you.....Think about all the people that are not passing you because they are still sitting on the couch watching TV..
