Power of the pack!

I did it!!! I finally broke the 40 minute mark!

Today I ran the Race For The Cure with my friend, Sheila, her daughter Nikki and her fiancee, Peter. I just set my stop watch rather than my interval timer, because that race is so huge that it takes you 5 minutes just to get to the start line. The last race I somewhat timed my self I ran 41 minutes, which is fine. Today I finished in 39 minutes 30 seconds!

The crazy part of the race was that I easily ran 10 & 1 intervals. My race day adrenalin must have been behind that, because on Wednesday my ass was draggin' with 6 & 1. When I started my fourth interval I new I was very close to the end and from some unknown location I was able to muster up quite a bit of sprint to get me under 40 minutes. I usually dislike my watch, because it is not at the time I want it to be (1 second from the walk minute), but today it was my friend. I used it as a gauge to know how far I went, what my pace was and if I could shave any time off. A 30 minute 5k doesn't seem like a fantasy anymore.

Hope you are all having a relaxing Mother's Day
