Ran my 2nd 5K of 2017 in my quest to run one 5K a month this year!

I started back to interval training a few weeks ago and clearly my work is paying off since I only walked (at a brisk pace with 2 friends) my January 5K in 51 minutes. This also was a  much bigger more organized race than January. It felt good to be back, I haven’t done a race since May. 

I used my Running (For Weight Loss) app and tried my best to stick to their recommend walk/run/sprints. Sometimes I walked longer other times I ran longer. All and all I felt good and strong the whole time. I wore my running watch, but only to keep an eye on my pace – I didn’t want to push to hard (like I tend to do during races). I didn’t have a goal time, my training run was pre-schedule for 41 minutes and based on my previous runs on just under 3 miles – I knew I could do it under 40. 

I’m going to just keep focusing on small gains each other, I want to get faster and stronger, but while also not aggravating my injury.
