I ran the balloon 5K race in Hershey. It was fairly hot and apparently I was not properly hydrated. My time last year for this same race was about 27 minutes (I walked a little). However, this year I ran the whole thing, but my time was 31 minutes. I am happy that I was also able to pass at least two people on the way to the finish line. As a result, I decided that I must get in better shape. Therefore, I ran Monday and Tuesday from my house to Cindy's work (It's about 2.5 miles or so). Today on the other hand since it was raining I did not run.
I'm going to print up a specific plan for my running for the Harrisburg Half. The trouble is this year I don't have a running partner... This is a tremendous drawback because last year I was able to do something that I genuinely enjoy with one of the guys who was in my wedding. If you think of it, I'd REALLY appreciate it if you'd pray that I'd find someone else that is either my skill level (which is not that high) or better who's willing to stick with me and pull me along. There will be some extremely hot days that I'm not going to feel like running... last year I had the accountability of another guy... this year it's just me... not thinking that's going to go over real well... I will keep you posted.... until next time.
