B1G (Big Ten) Hoops Day 5K

After a year off of the blog, and 4 months off of organized running, I've been feeling pretty 'husky."  At least that's been my term for it.  I've been fighting to run under a 9 minute pace, due to freezing, snowy weather keeping me inside, even on a dread-mill at times. Still, it was time to start running again, to drop some pounds and get ready for Mini-marathon #2.

First up:

It was as cold, if not colder than the Jingle Bell run in mid-December, which made it tough on the lungs.  I didn't expect a solid outcome, but something about running with a large group is fueling.

165    63    CHAD STARR    PITTSBORO IN    M   41    08:16    25:43.1

Not a bad outcome. Glad to see I'm not as slow and "husky" as I've felt the past few months. Bring on next weekend's trail run!

A couple more days...

And it would have been a year since my last post.  Time to start anew, with a repeat.  Mini-marathon is coming again. Shall be my second.

I rocked my first half marathon at 1:55. Not expecting my fat arse to do so well this year. Just want to go have fun this time.  We'll see what I can do in these:

Catch up post coming soon.
