How was your week? Any race reports?

Tri training is still in full swing around here and temve made a lovely post hereat tri_me about how our apartment has changed in character since the crazy-training has ramped up.

So what's changed about your lifestyle since you became a runner?

Have fun, stay hydrated, and run happy!

That's great about the colds! I'm not sure I noticed that - but then I've been running on and off since I was 14 or so...good lord it's been a long time!

Did you run Saturday? How did it go? If not, we totally understand life being more important than running...

I only started running 5-6 years ago (and has had long periods in that time where I didn't run and had to start from scratch), and lived quite the sedentary life before that. I've gotten fewer colds over those 5-6 years, but especially this last year, where I've exercised more than ever.

I did run Saturday, and ran the 5K in 30:17, which is my fastest time yet. And still I'm disappointed, because everyone else, it seems, runs 5K in under 25 mins - or 20 mins.

Of course, considering that I'm still having trouble making myself go out and run more than once a week, it's really no surprise I make such slow progress :o)

OMG that is a great time! And it's a PR. This is you breaking the 10 minute mile barrier :-)

I've been working forever to get my 5 k below 25 minutes. I'll get there eventually...

This is you breaking the 10 minute mile barrier :-)
But I'm Danish, I'm trying to break the 6 minute kilometer! Maybe next race - I only have to shave off 17 secs, how hard can it be…
