I got up, took my blood pressure and it was perfect so I decided I would run yesterday’s race – at least the 5k. Unfortunately it was raining. Anyway, my hubby said that I was nuts and he wasn’t gonna pick me up off the pavment.
When it did stop in the afternoon, my hubby left to play tennis & I set out on my virtual race (wearing the race shirt) & to the drug store to pick up 2 prescriptions.
I guessed that to the pharmacy & back would be a 10k. Actually it was 3.5 miles so I ended up doing 7 miles.
Stats:
lst 5k – 31:20
2nd 5k – 34:55
10K – 1:06:15
7 miles – 1:15:56
As you can tell, I ran the first 5k and walked a lot during the 2nd. I didn’t stop the clock waiting for lights to cross streets but did stop for 10 minutes in CVS (and stopped the clock).
Still sad that I missed the opportunity to run a 10k…I probably shouldn’t have waited so long since the running season is limited from now til next spring.


Actually, it was a pretty nice day for a run. I ran this morning and the rain was minimal. A little cool, but pretty nice.
Good job heading out there. Hope your head is doing better.

Hope you’ll be running sooner. How about the Polar 4 mile in Lake George?
