5 mile Portugal Day race

Yesterday I ran the race in 58:12. I was pretty happy with my time. It was still about 4 minutes off from being a PR, but it was under an hour. I'm getting there.

New York Mini

Ran the "New York Mini" 10k this morning. Time was 1:19:08. not good, but better than last month. Eventually, I'll get back in PR range. In the meantime, the conversations going on at the back of the race are the best.

yay running again

After more than a year, I am back to running races. So far I have ran the Run for Parks and Run as One 4 milers. In a week I will run a 10k...a bit nervous about that one.

So what happened to the half-marathon I was training for back in September? After running 10 miles, forgetting to drink water or eat I somehow thought it was a perfectly fine idea to have blood tests done. I passed out, but was ok. The nurses told me to drink water and rest. So that was a hard lesson for me to learn about not rushing my training. Although distance running is 90% mental, the other 10% of fitness is still very important.
