Funny, this evening I'm sitting here wondering how I'm going to do in a five kilometer race tomorrow.
I'm not a snob about 5K races, I enjoy running in them but I don't really consider myself a competitive runner at that distance. Slow, "old" guys run distance.
This time is different; to be blunt "I've got no caboose to hold me back", I'm back to my high school weight. This fact was quite telling for me today when I went out for my usual five mile trail loop. I decided I'd run it all and did so in fifty two minutes. Some people would immediately say, "so what, thats over ten minutes a mile". Well any run under a hour on that loop is a good workout and I didn't even push that hard.
When I signed up for the race I figured I'd walk it, then thought that I might jog some, then jogging then entire thing and now I'm thinking about racing it. I don't know, perhaps I need a checkup from the neck up.
Later............ Mike
