Yet again, a different route today. I decided to run the Washington Cherry Festival 5K today. The beginning seems to be a slightly uphill but I kept thinking...on my way back it will be downhill. It kept me going. My long run this week was 3 miles so I did that today. I also found a running partner for my long runs so that will be nice, we start this Sunday. I will be trying something different. Run 2 minute. walk 1 minute for the duration of 4 miles. I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out...ENDURANCE not time is the key. 

I really wanted to take a walking break after 2 miles, but kept going...I am glad I did. When the 3 miles came I felt ok so I continued to run to my cool down corner. 3.3 miles! I was remembering a few weeks ago during my 5K that the last .25 miles of the run I was trying not to get sick...I didn't feel sick today after 3.3 so that's progress in my book. 

Not much of a cool down walk though. Once I hit my corner I received a call that the lawn service was here and the cats were out so I had to run home to get them in. Luckily I have great neighbors who put them inside for me.
