My fitness club finished its "90day Challenge" today with a 5K Run (it kicked off with a 5K Run back in April). I was excited for this run because I have made a lot of progress since April and I wanted to show that to my Trainer today.
I was really hoping for a new PR today. I started out pretty fast at a 10:00 pace -- a little too fast I think -- but soon settled into an average 11:00 pace. There were a lot of ups and downs on this course that were a challenge. But I was pleased to only have taken two 1-minute walk segments today.
I finished with a 33:50 time! That was MAJOR given that my original April time was 40:41. And it was a real boost to have a fellow WISHer MotoMiker there at the finish to cheer me across the line!! I had the pleasure of meeting his wife as well (who is running a Triathalon on Sunday! How awesome is that?!!)
A great day so far -- lost 1.2lbs at my Weight Watchers meeting at 7AM, and then setting a new PR at the 9AM race! Now it is time for a cold shower, a good breakfast, and a relaxing weekend!
