I had a breakthrough today! Well, at least my body did. I've been able to run a 5K on the treadmill several times but when I get out on the road, I completely lose it. I know it has been my inability to pace myself on the road. Pacing on the treadmill is easy, it does it for me! Well, today I found my breathing pace that allows me to run the entire distance and not spike my heartrate. Woot! I can't wait to get home and try it out on the road.
I also found out that Ft. Lauderdale traffic is pretty consistent. And, you count about 800 cars between 0 and 5K.
Now, who wants to join me in my first road 5K ever?!? September is the month. Join me!
Sorry...not a runner! But I would walk or even speed walk one!! Running gets a bit painful for my back...oh well.
