I DID IT!!!

I beat my own personal best on the 5K!!! I try to run 2 miles a day (not always!) But I run 5K once a month - but these last few weeks have been hard since I've been trying to run w/ kidney pain & whatnot! I normally run outside, but since it's too hot, and I have my treadmill set up, I run on it - and since treadmills are "faster" to run on than land (no sidewalk REALLY moves under your feet, you have to push it away!) I run at a 3.5 incline to keep up my endurance! Here is my last 5K...

Who knows if that link will actually post correctly - but if it doesn't it would show you the stride I took (where I slowed down, where I sped up--you can see where I stopped to drink & tie my shoe!) I ran 3.14 miles (5.05K) in 27.50, (it says 28.08, but that includes the whole run which was 5.05K) Yah - not much to brag about - not near what I ran in HS, but still...my personal best in adulthood!

I was wondering what happened about 2/3 of the way through the run! But you did GREAT, ultimately!! Good for you!

What did you decide on that Kidney Diet?

AND Thanks for taking those flowers and chocolates to Jannet! (((((HUGS)))) Whether you like it or not!

Woohoo! I am proud of you! I cannot do it, I suck at running, my heart hates it more then it loves it. :)
