This morning I ran in the
5K Run for Youth at bloomington. The Shotokan club paid for my registration (thanks guys!). I expected it to be an intensely painful experience and I was right. Every muscle in my legs hurts right now, and I felt ready to cough up a lung when I stopped running.
We got a little lost partway through and followed the walking path instead of the running path, so ended up running a total of about 5.5k in about 30 minutes. I guess if I estimate that extra half-kilometer cost me 2.5 minutes, I ran 5k in 27:30. Not nearly as good as last year's time, but I'm glad to be running at all.
I'll see how Jill Behrman goes on Saturday. My cold should be cleared up by then.
