I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

Keep one thing in mind. If you can sprint at the end of the race, you didn't run hard enough.
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
De-slacking in progress
I think you can go under 25:30 for the 5K, if not under 25:00. Let us know how it goes. RE: the "finishing kick" discussion, read the latest "science of sport" series on fatigue. They hit on this topic I believe.
started running @ age 48 [lost 70#+, quit a 30 year pack/day habit>> ran HM] Ran a few years then quit. Gained 70#+ back and smoking like before. Time to get healthy again @ 52 years over with the C25K program and beyond again. RE-start date 1-13-14
