5k?

So we went to the Y last night.  I started running and needed to do 30 minutes… so I am running and running and  I get to 2 miles (my previous longest) in about 22:40?  I don’t know, let’s just say I doubt I will ever run a 4 hour marathon!  (I doubt I will ever run a marathon… at any pace, but …. that’s another story for another day).  Sarah was running along be-bopping to her tune-age and I was like ‘word’!  I kept going until 30:00 and was not quite to the 3.1 mark required to complete the 5k course!  Alright… stick it out… thud-thump-thud-thump-thud-thump  (that’s me running, kind of like Spanky… more force than grace.  I did it!  I’d like to bust that 3k time down to 30:00 on the treadmill… that would be kinda cool.  Normally I run around the little loop, but the treadmill is easier on the joints and has data for me to calculate and analyze in my head… helps the time go by better than counting laps…. 0 going on 1…. 1 going on 2 …. 2 going on 3…..

I am not 100% sure but I think I have run more this year than I did in the 90′s… heck, probably the 90′s and the 00′s combined!  (that’s really not saying much though…)
