Three 5k’s to celebrate Independence Day 2015

2015 Track Shack Watermelon 5k photos — The first of yesterday’s three 5k’s.

Three 5k’s to celebrate Independence Day 2015. Here are the splits for the official (2nd 5k):

Mile one: 6:53.
Mile two: 6:58
Mile three: 6:29
Final .1 mile: 37 seconds.

Elapsed time: 21:19

The most interesting part was how easy the first two miles were. Kept my breathing through my nose until the final mile.

Update October 13, 2015: No longer taking selfies with sweaty chest thanks to a family member (Eric Chet). The original intent was to capture the profuse sweating to demonstrate what a 56 year old can do when there are no limits.

Annual Track Shack Watermelon 5k 2015

Annual Track Shack Watermelon 5k 2015 this morning at 7am.

An hour drive, a 5k warmup, then the actual 5k.

Coming off the two week slow down from mystery pain in right calf.

Since running intensity has been way off, maybe the ‘rest’ will make the 5k ‘interesting’ (fast).

And so it goes, the boring basics

Orlando Based Disney Motivational Keynote Speaker — Yesterday, a late, hot start to the day, at 8am.

With a green light from my Podiatrist of ten years, yesterday was an important milestone.

The pain from running at the Sunshine State Games on Father’s Day 10 days ago, is fading to nothing.

Five miles of consecutive negative splits, not pushing hard, just gradually controlling the increased pace. Being aware and in command is part of world class training.

Mile six a slow jog. Mile seven a nice walk. Miles eight and nine, relaxed jog. Mile ten another easy walk cool down.

Consistency and time.

Dream killer or heart attack?

Dream killer or heart attack?

The foot bone’s connected to the ankle bone. The ankle bone’s connected to the leg bone. The leg bone’s connected to the hip bone. On up to our heart, then straight on to our dreams.

Podiatrist said, “Everything looks great. As we age, we can expect some pain associated solely to the aging process, not because of injury. Keep doing what you’re doing.”

Just like that

Glacier Red Bus tours — Yesterday the annual Summer Glacier trip was booked – a great stress reducer.

Just like that, the pain has disappeared.

We’ll see if it stays away during this morning’s run.
