Day 204- RR- Ran another 5K over the weekend and blew my time out of the water compared to the last one. Chip time 27:49, shaved 1:10 off my time. The course was much flatter. All the studs were there and I came in next to last in my age group, lol. Overall I finished 81st out of 185 runners. I also came across one of my high school classmates during the run. She was just chugging along. She has been running a lot longer than I have and did well. She was one of those folks that I really never talked to when we went to school together and I always felt she thought I was beneath her. (Let me add here, I went to a boarding school and I was boarder and she was a day student, 2 different crowds from the get-go. In other words, I had no money and her family had money, she dated one of the most popular guys. She also had a battle with anorexia back then.) To my surprise she was very nice and happy to see me. We chatted briefly and I think we may run a few races this fall together, she already sent me her list she is doing.
I am taking this weekend off from running a race and putting 2 weeks of training before my next 5K. I am going to try to increase my distance of my training runs as I hear this is good way to gain speed on race day. I also plan on starting some more ‘training’ programs next week and do some interval training, not sure how I handle this…. My son goes to training camp for soccer a week from today, so I will be running races on my own. Hopefully, my wife will wake up and come out to support me at the next race.
Went to the Dr. this morning and got my blood work results, even with my diet change, I have to stay on meds for PB and start again on cholesterol meds. I stopped taking the cholesterol meds a few years ago when I could not afford them. They have generics now of the one he put me on, so much cheaper. Overall everything else looks good, I did have a high protein reading, but he retested me in the office.
