What I learned...

Yesterday Steph and I participated in our first 5K race. I learned a few things from the experience...1) We are in really good shape, 2) All that matters on race day is that you finish, and 3) Running in the company of other runners is pretty darn cool!!

Labor Day...

We added 5 minutes to our morning run today...up to 35 minutes running...45 minutes of total movement (5 minute warm-up/brisk walk and 5 minute cool down). I know we are definitely in the 5k range...our devices have us "clocking in" at 2.83 miles - 3.53 miles. I'm wondering which one is more accurate. Regardless...we are enjoying ourselves and getting fit...that's all that should matter. I won't lie though when I say that I find my self slipping backwards into a Capitalistic mode that is consumed with PR's for pace and distance...I don't think that this is a bad thing when it comes to getting "better" at this thing called running.
