My first 5k.

Sunday, September 20, 2009.

Bangor, ME

Komen Foundation Race for the Cure.

My time: 42:36, 13:43 per mile.

Following the 5k, I have had a week off my running schedule.  This week I will be getting back into it.

Sorry for the clinical post today.  I’m a bit too tired for interesting writing tonight.  More later.

As awesome as a hundred billion hot dogs, sir.

Pretty excited.

Last week I finished Week 3 of my 5k training program, and am now embarking on entirely new territory (meaning I am farther in the program now than I ever have been during any of my numerous false starts in the past 3 years).  This week I am on to Week 4, which increases some of the running stints from 3 minutes to 5 minutes.  That’s pretty intense, for me.

In food-related news, I avoided a donut craving today, simply by being too lazy to drive back into town.  Actually, let me rephrase that.  I avoided a donut craving today after the FIRST donut place I went to was all out of donuts (how is that possible?!) and I was too lazy to drive back into town two blocks to get donuts elsewhere.  So I am a little more trans-fat free today, thanks to the Universe who makes some donut shops sell out, and laziness.

No recipes to share, as yet.  I am going to be making a birthday cake soon, so if you’re very lucky, I might post my famously fantabulous chocolate cake and homemade white frosting recipe.  Maybe.

Peace.
