So I had my first 5k on Saturday. I'm typing about it here because, well it was in September. I am glad that it was a fun race with friends. I am SOOOOO slow. finished in 42 minutes because I had to walk a bit. It got hot really fast and was about 85 at 9 am. And I wore black. But it was a PR, since it was my first. I have another in 3 weeks to beat that time and keep working on that.

Well maybe. I am having some left hamstring pain. I can't seem to stretch or ice or rub enough. Going to take it easy this week and see. This is the same leg that I had heel and calf issues a few months ago. But then I also started in with lifting again this month. I am wondering if I tweaked it. Grrrr.

@seanevan10 Congratulations on running your first 5k race
I hope your hamstring pain goes away quickly!

I didn't get to look in here in the last couple of days, since I had a visitor. Now I finally looked at my monthly total:
117km of my 150km goal *sigh*
It's really frustrating how many days I couldn't run after falling and hurting my knee, and how short my runs where after starting back. But at least it wasn't an injury that sidelined me for longer; so I'm optimistic that October will be better!

I'm late to the party as usual. 29 miles in September, didn't set a goal for the month other than to keep on going with C25K. I'm in week 9 of the program and struggling to do the full 30 minutes without stopping. I need to slow down i think.

A post-September wrap-up for me. Didn't make my goal, but I'm claiming the hurricane exemption. Weekend place is still flooded, and likely will be until Thanksgiving. Two kids in college, with trips to visit them. I can run there, but not every day. October started slow, but I'm hopeful to get back above 40 miles.
