Speedy!

Today's noon hour runs. I'm shocked: not only is this my fastest 3k but I finally broke the 6 min/km pace:

Do you see what I see? A time, a time, so much faster than before....

And I broke that pace not once but twice, on consecutive runs: a 3k followed by a 2k. With a 1-2 min walk break in between. And I'm up 6 lbs since mid-January.

I guess if this is the pace, the 1st time wasn't a fluke!

Next challenge to run 5k under 30 mins suddenly does seem possible. I'm floating on cloud nine tonight. Please don't pop it. But feel free to pinch me; I think I need it.

  1. Not many girls ask to have their butt pinched. Probably good I'm not there. Congrats on the runs!

  2. If you can run that time in training, you can definitely run a sub-30 5k. So, when is the race?

    1. No real serious races until Stampede Road Race, but that's if I even register for it. I am doing the Skirtsport Skirtchaser 5k in May so I might try but I think that's more of a fun run. All the other "races" I'm either pacing my sister or walking with the family. First real race is probably going to be Melissa's Road Race 10k.
