Pushed hard the entire time. Some of the hills hurt. Was a fun local race with a good amount of spectators. I always forget how much 5ks hurt.

Warm down:

Cheered on finishers, chatted with the Kuper's and then ran home

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of speed work

Event comments:

PRR does a great job at putting on good local races. Good swag (LS tech shirt and ornament).
It would be nice if they changed up the courses though. All of the races that are from RTC are the same course.

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.
