Yesterday, Chris, Ryan, Caitlin and I ran the Greater Oviedo 5K which we have run several years in a row. The race was wonderful as always, although starting at 7:30 was bit late for this Florida heat, in my opinion. One of my goals for this year was a sub 27 minute 5K, and according to my Garmy I ran 3.12 miles in 26:59! I met my goal just barely, but I am still so excited! Unfortunately, they seemed to have an issue with the timing chips, because according to mine I ran the 5K in 23:51, and I know that is not accurate.
Other than the race, I have been keeping up with my goal of running three days a week (see my DailyMile widget) and doing arm and ab work-outs. I have also been working a lot to get ahead before my trip. I am flying to Denver on Saturday to present at a conference on Monday. I fly back Monday night only to fly out to Italy Thursday night (EEK!!!). And now, at the end of the month of June, it looks like I will be flying out to L.A. to run samples in a laboratory out there. I am soooo excited for all three trips! I cannot wait to share my exciting trips with you!
I hope that you all are doing wonderful! Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
This blog was started as a way of keeping myself motivated to keep working out, and the blog has been successful in that aspect. I started running in 2007, and it really has transformed my life. I have discovered so many inspiring individuals through the "blog world" and many delicious recipes. I use this blog to keep track of my training and write about the fun things in life. Keep checking back to read about my training for my first marathon, in February 2011.
Congrats on your PR!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteBe safe and enjoy your trips. It sounds so exciting!!
Congratulations on the PR!!! Trimming even a few seconds off of a 5k is pretty tough. Take lots of pictures on your trips...I'm traveling vicariously through you.
