I'm a 5K-er and proud of it!

You know, there are a lot of people who want to run a marathon or a half marathon, and I say go ahead. The more I think about it, the less I want to run more than 5 or 6 miles.

Much to Jo's dismay, I know, but I love the 5k distance. It's fun. It's doable for the average person, and I can still work on speed.

Speaking of 5k, I ran one yesterday: 31:47. 2nd fastest time. Maybe I'll run a 10k next year, we'll see, but right now I'm very happy running in the 5k races. And my main goal is for this to remain fun!

BTW, yesterday was my first race in my new age group! Boo to getting old!!!!

I am such an idiot for not saying happy birthday on your birthday. Happy LATE birthday!

Also I know what you mean about distance even though I do like the longer races myself. This morning I did 10k and totally loved it.

My favorite thing about 10k and less is that it's easy to run every day or close to it. Right now if I do very much more than that, I have to take too much recovery time off and it's super frustrating sitting around not being able to run.

Anyways, consider the new age group a graduation! Congratulations! Also congrats on your 5k time, that's pretty sweet.
