My 5K this past weekend went very well. I had a PR of 1hr 3min and ? sec (need to find out for certain). Jean ran with me the whole time. I didn't run the whole time, but she was with me and she kept me on the interval.
Instead of my adrenaline affecting my back, it affected my breathing. I relaxed and it got better. The race was mostly flat, with a few hills. The weather was perfect - cloudy with no rain, just the right temperature so we didn't get too hot but weren't cold. Basically a great way to end the 10week program and look forward to the future.
Now for the Next Journey - Facing Myself and figuring out how to do it on my own.
To start with, I've got the tuesday/thursday morning runs. The group goes out together but has varying speeds. I don't like going alone, but until I can get faster, I have no option if I want to go out with the group.
Developing a routine is important to me
Having accountability to people is important to me
Continuing outside run/walk is important to me - I want to be able to do road races and treadmills don't do it for me
I need to give treadmills another shot, now that running in general is possible. But I still want to do the outside bit because I know running outside is completely different than running on a treadmill.
