First 5k
James' Blog September 16th, 2007I ran my first 5k today. It was at Northview Christian Life's Hillfest. They kick off the festivities with a 5k run at 9:30am.
I decided a few months ago that I would run this 5k as a training run to guage my progress prior to the 5k that I am training for at Taylor's Homecoming 5k. My goal for Taylor's 5k is 22 minutes. This will allow me to "qualify" for seeding in the Indianapolis Mini-Marathon in May. This morning I was discussing with my boss and running partner that my ultimate target would be 22(7:00/m) minutes, however, I would be happy running it in 23:10(7:30/m). If you check out my running page you will see that I ran it in 22:40(7:18/m). Unfortunately, the Nike+ I use isn't vary accurate and it claims I only ran 3.01 miles. IT LIES!!! It was 3.1m(5k). Basically, I exceeded my satisfactory goal and feel that my ultimage goal is in reach 6 weeks from now.
SIL - Hope to see you running again soon. Wanna run the Taylor 5k with me?

Oh! Can’t run the 5k! But I did my first mile and a half tonight! I’m cautiously optimistic!
