My 1st 5k
Ran my 1st 5k race Sunday. It was a lot harder than i expected. Everybody ran out of the gate really fast. Tryed to keep up, but got winded. Had to slow down some & catch my breath. Started to get my stride just before the 1 mile mark, & past the 1st person. Past 5 more people before the finish. Ran a 23:54. Got 2nd in my age group. 50-54 yrs old. Had a great time, hope to do more. Maybe some time next yr. i can move up to a 10k.

Thanks for the advice. I kind of already knew that I should back off on the heavy squatting etc. It sure is nice to know someone like you can relate. That’s awesome about your 5k. Isnt’ it the best feeling in the world. Now imagine doing a 26.2 marathon. I was on cloud nine. Best of Luck to you! You seem very motivated. Keep it going!
