I ran in the Firemen’s 5K this month and finished with a PR of 23:03. I finished 9th in my age group out of a total of 26 runners. Yes I did wear my Newton’s and man do I love these shoes. The weather that morning was warm and muggy. At the start line I noticed that I was sweating pretty heavily and was a little worried about the weather. The first mile was completed in 7:20 and I was already soaked and wet with sweat. I figured that I wouldn’t be able to finish in 21:00 minutes so I just settled in to a 7:20sh pace and tried to get a PR. That is what I did so I was happy and proud with the run and hope to continue improving.
It’s finally official I signed up for the Rock and Roll Marathon San Antonio in November. Starting July 12th I will begin my 18 week training program. I promise that a weekly blog will be done so if anyone is interested they can follow my training with this blog. I hope to have an in depth detail of my training to include mileage, heart rate monitoring, and weight loss. I will also include cycling and weight training during this time. I hope to keep it interesting and meet other runners that will be running the RNR San Antonio. Well that is it for now, keep up the training and I will be back with another post soon.
