Another Race

On Saturday I participated in the Zach Tucker Memorial 5k.  My dad did this race with me.  He can run circles around me, but he stayed with me anyway.  As a result, he only took 5th place in his age group, which was "60 and over."  He probably would have been in the top three if he had run us best race.  Even at my slower pace, he was in first place in the "70 and over" group, but the organizers didn't include that category.

I finished in 44:56, which is not my best time, but it's better than the last race, so that's good.  I was in 8th place out of 19 in my age group, so that was also good. 

I've got to improve my endurance, but it's so hard with back and neck problems.  On some days when I plan to run, I find that I just hurt too much to do it.  I've got to push myself more on the days that I don't hurt so that I can run for longer and longer periods.  I plan to run some tonight, and will push for at least two 3 minute runs. 

Stay strong!
