5K Today!

My running buddy ditched me today. "Let me know when you can do at least 3 miles and then we'll run together again."

I wasn't hurt by this exactly because I was looking forward to our time together, but you can bet the rent I was determined to get back up to 3 miles in under 30 minutes QUICK.

So, I came home tonight and rocked out a 5K (3.1 miles) in under 33 minutes.

[hitch-pitched voice here] "Call me when you can do three!"

I'll give you three and a tenth, biotch, and you'll like it!

33 minutes isn't a great time, but I did it. In two weeks she and I will be training together again. With cold weather coming, it will be prime time for me to do speed training.

Oh, and there wasn't any death rattle in my throat tonight. I kept my pace slower than last night and it helped me regulate my breathing better to avoid the painful huffing and puffing. I think when I get back into shape the death rattle will go away again.

So there.
