Another race is at the doorstep
Wow, it has been a long period once again since I have updated my blog. Where to start? Class is done for the summer(yahoo!), I somehow injured my ankle a few weeks ago, and I have a 5k in two days. My ankle injury was more a sprain that happen a few weeks ago, I took a two weeks off from running and was quite surprised to see how much I lost my endurance level for running. My return to running was light and easy, 3 miles, and that proved to be fairly difficult with myself not able to run the entire distance without a short walk break. That was over a week ago, and my last run this morning was almost back to normal.
Buck Creek 5k Run is Friday and my second road race. Seems like this race has a few hundred runners verses the thousands the Riverbank had. My goal is break 30 minutes, which I believe is possible. Recalling the course, it is fairly flat without the hills that the Riverbank threw my way. I look forward to it and will have a great time regardless of my actually time. Looking down the road, I am signed up for Grand Rapids Half-Marathon in October which will be big milestone in my running career.
More later…
