Again demonstrating that my progress in recovery for both walking and running endurance isn't exactly linear, about 3 hours ago I, for the 4th time this year, successfully completed their 5kcourse, which goes for 3.1 miles. To accomplish this I needed to cover 4 park laps, which I managed today without too much trouble and suffering. It took me about 64 minutes to get through it all...click HERE to read the posted results. Throughout the race I felt weary and unable to keep up with other parkrunners. I was also frustrated with my Android, which didn't play the music I wanted it to. The pictures I took didn't transfer over to Google photos, either...i'll need to depend on a different photo source to be able to decorate this blog with a pretty picture. Looking back on the experience, i am very grateful for Melissa's support and enouragement, and to God for giving me the fitness and physical...and mental...energy needed to complete this course, which I want to be in the habit of doing on a regular basis. Later today we're predicted to be experiencing rainstorms for our Gainesville area. i'll be spending most of that period at home...baseball has loaded up our tv schedule. If dryness prevails, then maybe i'll try doing some more laps of slow AF running in the back yard. If all I end up doing in the future is slow running for long distances, then that's O.K. with me. By the way, do you know what "AF" means?...

Walked Gainesville's Depot Park 5K This Morning
