Hoping everyone is having a good weekend, got my afternoon run in at a quick pace covering 6.6 miles.

Howdy, dailies! I finally figured out I could get cardio done on the elliptical. Don't ask me why it took me a month to realize that, but it felt good to sweat again. 60 minutes done.
My attendance here has been spotty as of late, so my apologies about that.
Don't sweat it, you're good.

2.80 miles with hubby and weights. First time I've done shoulder presses at 17.5 lbs on each hand. Woot.
flarunner, glad you're OK!
Gotta go hydrate with a nice beer.

13.1 at GMP. Attempting two in a row would be ugly right now, gotta remedy that over the summer.
What up Dailies. Haven't posted in awhile. My training went to shit this week but overall has been going pretty well this year. Hope you are all doing good, I've missed keeping up with everybody.
Since I tanked my miles this week due to life's commitments, I decided at the last minute to do a 5K today. I went up to Flint to run the Healing Hands 5K. Small race but they put it on well since it was the 18th running.
I ran a 23:20 which was good for a 1:38 PR. 18/128 overall. 3/7 AG. There was some real racing in this event for me, which I'd have to say is the first race I've actually felt direct competition. There were other examples, but as just one...A guy I was battling with for more 2 miles congratulated me for out kicking him at the end and thanked me for pushing him. We chatted a bit about the race and that was the coolest part for me. I scored a door prize in the free raffle too, which doesn't hurt. (gift card to the movies)
Splits:
1: 7:47
2: 7:33
3: 7:32
Last .1: 5:43/mile
That's according to Garmin. That last bit seems a little suspect LOL
Congrats on the PR, c0derunner!
