21Gearing up for a 5k Run
Posted by Kevin Doak on Friday at: 4:04pm (August 21st, 2009)
After a short break from swim training, I've started training for my yearly 5k run. Since the pool I typically train in is closed for the next 10-15 days this gives me a great (forced) opportunity to avoid the pool.
I've run the "Kensington Challenge" 5k for the last 4 years. This will be my glorious 5th year getting beat by the elderly, the strollers and the occasional wheelchair. I'm actually a fairly poor runner. The combination of my flat feet combined with a lack of endurance and an underlying hatred of running in general keeps me from ever really training. Yet somehow I still enjoy a 5k race every 12 months enough to pay the 25 bucks and run around Kensington Metropark on a Sunday Morning!
The race is September 19th... better start running!
