Sorry I haven't checked in for awhile; it's been a busy couple of weeks. I was in Michigan for a friend's wedding where I did a 6 mile run (details). All that accomplished was me getting mad at rich people for owning all the lakefront property, and also me stepping in dog poop without realizing it. Not fun. On the other hand, it was kinda fun just running aimlessly with no goal in mind, just exploring the town of Charlevoix.
On Tuesday, I set out with the goal of doing 5k at threshold pace, which I was able to accomplish (details). Even though I wasn't pushing myself as hard as I could (seeing as it's a threshold run), I was surprised it was still slower than the first race I ever ran (the Pi Mile Run at the U of M), but I'm confident in a race situation I could obliterate that time. I'm considering doing a 5k in the near future. One that looks like it's a nice course is Dave Ryan's 5k for Special Olympics Minnesota, so I'll probably do that. I feel like I'm almost back to the best running shape I've ever been in, though that's not really saying much. I haven't run a short race after 6 months of training before, so I'm curious to see how I'll perform. I'm hoping that I'll be able to convince a bunch of my friends (Chris, Andrew, Ben, Greg: I'm looking at you [and others if they're able]) to run it with me.
