Stretched my comfort zone again. My friend, Jolene, wanted to run her first 5k, so I woke up obscenely early and braved the crowds to run the Freedom Run 5k with her. Total blast. It wasn’t nearly as crowded as I imagined and the route was awesome!!
We saw a quite a few friends and neighbors before, during, and after the race. Since Jolene has only started running in the last couple of months, we took it pretty slow. My time was 32:18 (bleh – okay, really slow), but it was a blast running with a friend, and I felt great afterwards. It was one of the most relaxing races I have done. (I felt a lot better about my running pace, when the next week I did a sprint workout where I ran 3 miles in 26 minutes where 7 minutes of that was walking)
Finished half of my goal. I’m done with my five 5k’s.
| Highway to Hale | 31:42 |
| Hale Freezes Over | 29:37 |
| Paw Power 5k | 33:14 (With a stroller) |
| Dirty Dash 5k | 1 hour (apprx) |
| Freedom Run 5k | 32:18 |
Only have to do 2 more Triathlons. Next one in a little under 3 weeks!
Thanks for getting me out Jolene! Can’t wait for Highway to Hale!
