First 5K

Feb 02, 2009

Jogged my first 5k yesterday....redondo bch.Superbowl run........good race, lots of people showed up.........had alot of fun........went with my girlfriend who walked the entire distance, but it was cool, this was my thing, just glad she came along and participated......first two miles went ok.....started slowing the last mile or so.....at 300 lbs, its hard to keep a fast pace so i did most of the race at about a 5mph pace, slowing to about 3mph for the final mile......finished in 43min10sec..........i have finished faster (at the gym) but the crush of people and slowing in the turns slowed my time...........its all good, just glad i finished......what is the calc if i did 3.1 miles in 43min, whats the pace..........i will figure it out................since i have been running i have been super hungry, don't really understand why.......ate alot over the weekend......trying to keep it under control........but i kinda like running.......the most i have ever run without stopping is 1mile, and that was in high school...........to be able to jog 3 miles without stopping once is a huge accomplishment for me......want to do the 10k next year........still on a mission though to drop another 50-60lbs and start weight training.........alright.....later
