Comments:

I went out fast and aimed to settle into the race pace. My strategy was to have my buddy Tim pass me at about 1/3 of the way, and try to keep him in sight to the finish, which pretty much worked. I was a tad slower than I would have liked, in part because I should have taken one more easy day this week, and because I cooled down before the gun.

Warm down:

Chocolate milk and a cookie!

In November of 2000, I noticed that I was losing the feeling in my toes. The sensation traveled up my body and within a week, I was nearly 80% paralyzed.

First, with your upcoming 5K, I strongly advise you to check out the “Couch to 5K” training schedule. This training schedule is a GREAT way to get back into running safely and wisely.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had weight issues. I remember standing on the scale as a child weighing 60 pounds and feeling fat. My family dealt with stress by eating.
