another 5ks

I had the intention of doing a 7k run today.  But when I woke up at 8:30 am I kinda figured I missed my 7k running window.  I quickly got dressed in my running gear and was out the door.  While the heat wasn't oppressive as such.....I know the oppressive heat is in the post.  It will be here soon.  By the time I finished the 5ks it was 20c and I'm like a wilting flower in the heat.  The good news is that once again I was able to finish the 5k in under 30 minutes (28:50 to be exact). 

Yesterday I found some writing I had done about my running 2 years ago.  I was 10kg heavier and having trouble running 5ks.  I was reading about how I set a 5k record of 39 minutes.  Now I'm running it in under 29 minutes.  That was a good feeling.

My fastest k was done in 5:34 and the last lap was done in 5:38.  I'm pretty happy about my run today.  My 15k run is 2 weeks away and I have to extend my running at some point.  I have Thursday and Friday off next week.  I'm playing tennis on Thursday with AP.....so Friday I might have to a 12k run.  Just to get those ks under my belt.
