5k Madness

I have my first 5k under my sneakers now.  I completed my first one in 43 minutes which is great.  Now I have challenged myself to see if I can beat it.  My girlfriend was with me on my first one and she encouraged me when she could tell I was getting tired.  I did my second one and it was great. It was a Run for the Boobies and done in honor of a friend’s wife who battled breast cancer and kicked its ass.  I have signed up for 2 more before the end of the year and a Duathlon January 2^nd (what was I thinking).  To kick off 2016 I found two more that I have a signed for as well.  Am thinking that it’s almost time to up it to a 10k instead.  We will see how we do on these next few coming up.  I am excited for the next two coming up as they are virtual runs.  So I can complete them on my own time and I now have a fancy (well not too fancy) heart monitor with a chest strap to keep me on track and meet some more goals.

Now with the weather getting colder, I like running outside more.  Something about the cold crisp air that just keeps me going.  The scenery is rapidly changing from the gorgeous fall colors to the dead of winter.  But with that dead comes new growth and with that comes beautiful change.  Am in love with the change.
