Training Log Archive: tdgood

In Houston. Ran on my Mother-in-Law Appt exercise room treadmill.
The treadmill was too short and too close to the wall. It was geared more for older walkers than runners. I was so close to wall/TV that I needed my reading glasses to see it.

Signed up for the Dutch Days 5 K race back in Fulton illinios. I haven't run 5K race in several years so wasn't sure what to expect time wise. Given my training, I would be happy with anything faster than 23:30.
I started near the front of the pack (about 150 people) so I could get a good start and not have to restrict my stride.
I got a good start and settled into a comfortable stride. I made sure I wasn't starting out overly fast. About a 1/4 mile in the first woman (actually a high school girl) was just in front of me so I followed her figuring she would run a consistant pace. 1.5 mile in she slowed down some so I passed her. Then we course hit the out-back part. She was well known local girl and everyone was cheering for her. It was unfair. She picked up the pace. We ran even until the last 1/4 mile where she just kicked it in and left me way behind.
I finished 17th overall and 3rd over 50. My time was quite a bit faster than expected so I was happy.

I started off easy as my back was still sore. Once I loosened up then I picked up the pace. I wanted to see if I pushed it some what sort of time I can do. I signed up for a 5K race Saturday while back in Iowa.
