Still Here!
I’m still here. Got hit with a few things, including Fay, so I didn’t get to post anything for a while.
I did my first 5k in 8 years on the 16th, and I didn’t die! Walked a few times in mile 2 but ran a 36:50! I felt great, all I wanted to do was under 40 and I did it! Yeah for me!
So I started camp this week with some speed work (or I guess that’s what its supposed to be). We did 800 repeats with 60 second rests in between. 6-10 was the goal at 6:00. And of course, I was running late and forgot my watch (didn’t even ask the coach for one - despite his policy of having a bunch extra).
So I ran with a few people in my time range and did my best guess to maintain my 6:00 time. I managed to do 5 repeats at about 6:00 to 6:10, the last one I walked the last 1/4 mile. Next camp day is tomorrow and tonight I’m aiming to run 4 miles!

Congrats on the 5k! I hear Fay dumped more on Fl than Allison did on TX. Glad you made it through.
