Not much happening. Still healthy, running every other day, 2 miles or so. I can't get any faster though. I ran one 11 minute mile and now I cannot break 12 again. The legs won't move faster.
I am going to try a different run tomorrow. Maybe the change of scenery will do me some good.

Ran in the Race for the Cure 5K on Sunday the 17th in Elmira, NY.
I did lousy (38:31) according to other people's standards, but I ran the entire thing.
That is what mattered.
Since I have run 2 - 2milers, both very slowly, difficult, hot weather, but did it. I don't know what my issue is, just can't pick my feet up. Going to try a change in my diet and try some hill work. Going to try 3.5 on Saturday.

Keeping up my training. Ran a 39 minute 5K in training yesterday. Just wanted to improve my time a bit. I did alright the first 2 miles then faded fast. I did finish the run though and was proud of that. Been 10 days without a cigarette. Proud of that too. Wanted one badly today so I went out and worked in the garden a while. Craving gone now. No run today, just strength training.

Ran 2 miles yesterday. Not much motivation until I could see the end, then I wasn't stopping for anything. Sort of like the 5K I ran. I need to find some motivation. I am going to try to run 2 miles on a regular basis. Want to run the Race for the Cure 5K on May 17th in Elmira, NY.

Running, or something resembling it...
I ran my first 5K today. I was second to last and ran a 41:22:68. Admirable since up until now I have not managed more than a mile.
I also just quit smoking on Thursday. I am so happy with myself. Oh, and I won a prize, second in my age bracket. LOL, go figure.
I have new running shoes on the way, the upgrade of what I have now.
