The First 5K in over 2 decades (April 2009)

You have to start somewhere....And so I did slowing  with 2 mile torture runs near the house...Completely and utterly exhausting 2 mile runs.....I had to set a goal to keep motivated....The Seal Beach 5K April 2009.

It wasn't going to be easy....Mentally and physically......But like I said I needed to start somewhere.

He Fat running slow in Seal Beach
.....Now    The run itself was awful....I ran (with a little walking around the 36 minute mark)    Which with my decent history as a runner was extremely difficult and embarrassing mentally.......I was glad I did it but so disappointed with where I was at...     36 Minutes....High School Brad could run a 10 K in that........Yikes.
