My First Time (not what you think, it's okay)

Aug 07, 2010 18:42

Well, I did it. I ran my first 5k today. It was blessedly not 310 degrees this morning, but only about 65 or so by the time we started. I managed to run the entire time, which surprised me, because in my workouts I just haven't been able to do it. I crap out after a mile or 1/4 mile even. I did come in 2nd to last, overall. Kind of embarrassing. ( Read more... )

Wow, congratulations! Rest assured that if I ever decide to run a 5k, I'm sure I will come in last. I'm the least sporty person I know. I get winded while going up and down the stairs to the train station (although they're three stories high because the highway was created first before the train tracks)

That's a lot of stairs. One year I decided to take the stairs up to lunch every day. It was 9 stories. Do you know it NEVER got easier? Even though I did it every work day, and I was lifting weights and doing other cardio 3 or 4 times a week? I got winded every time. So don't feel bad!

And thank you!

My rule at the office is that I'll take the stairs if my destination is within three flights. Conveniently, perhaps, my two most common destinations are four flights in either direction from my desk. On the other hand, I don't want to get all sweaty at work, and it's pretty warm in there to begin with.

9 stories! Wow. I wish I could do that. My office is up at the 26th floor of the building so I can't go up the stairs. I hate stairs. I don't think I'll ever get used to them even though I go up and down stairs everyday.

Of all the things one could do because of sanity issues, I can't imagine that running a footrace is the worst. Running alot can be hard on the knees, though. Better to find a place to let him off the leash.
