recovery 5k

23:40 5k to Dry Clean Depot and back

Giving up

Went out with Hannah, who was biking, to pace me to do a 21min 5k. At 2.56 miles, I was 200ft ahead of my goal pace but so uncomfortable (combined pain from legs, lungs, heart and headache) that I turned around and walked home. After 20 minutes I went back and finished the 5K (in 20:25--but of course thats not my PR with a 20-minute break in the middle).

icy jog

Catching Up Post

I am kindof in a lull between my vigorous winter running and getting motivated for the Spring.
I missed Friday all together (had a Change Control Fri am at work) and was busy playing with the kids in the evening.

Saturday I slept in, and ran 5K at sunset. Really kind of cool, great temps and the during the run it transitioned from day to twilight to night. I enjoyed seeing the same old neighborhood in a new light.

Sunday I gutted out a 5K along the Sugarland loop. 23:? Sunday night I also went ice skating with the family. Tracy and I skated for about 15 minutes. I had a such a good time I didn't want to leave.

Monday I played with kids and hung out with Tracy, who is much more entertaining than running.

Today I ran (jogged) 5K in Reston on the W&OD Trail.
