On the road again...
I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

We've got a local 5k on June 28th. I'll be registering Monday. I'm nervous and excited. I am looking at "the next training program" now that I'm done with C25K. Is OHR the best one? I've alos been looking at Hal Higdon's spring training program. Any suggestions?
Wingz, thanks as always. I'd still love to meet to run together sometime soon. Hopefully this heat wave will break a little soon... I'm going to the doctor on Monday to see if we can figure what's up with my goofy hip. I'm still planning on doing Race for the Cure on Sat., but will probably have to walk more of it than I'd hoped. If all goes well, I'm going to pick up the NCRR Women's program in July.
Question: how long did it take you to get a bit faster? I'm curious to hear from people who are in late C25K or have moved on to OHR. I did W5D3 yesterday. I ran the whole thing without walking (yay me!), but still covered the same distance as usual. I suspect I slowed my pace a bit to make sure I could run the whole thing. I'm wondering now if I push more during the run when I know I have walk breaks to rest a bit. Yes, I know it's about time OR distance, not both, and I should be content with how far I've come already and not belittle that by worrying about distance. I know that, but I still wonder about the distance part of things. It's going well enough I haven't felt the need to repeat any weeks so far. It will come, right? Am I just being too impatient?
