5K!!

July 24th, 2009

So after last night’s disappointment, I went to the local high school and ran on the 400m track. 12.5 laps. OR: 5K!!

I learned some things.

  1. Have the husband and baby sit away from the beginning of the laps. I got distracted and would forget to hit the timer until a little late.
  2. Do not eat Cheez-its before running. I just walked the entire 11th lap because I felt sick.
  3. Stretch the back of the thighs more.
  4. I overestimated how fast I run on the treadmill and ran my first lap a bit fast, at least for my first time on the “street”.

Despite these little shortfalls, I think I did really good for my first time.

  1. Yay!! And glad you learned some things too. It’s all a learning journey. And yeah, I wouldn’t recommend Cheese-its before running :)
