My better half and I ran another 5K today. We try to do two every summer. Today was the Gettysburg 5K. It was hot, DAMN hot.
I was 201 out of 713 19 out of 47 in my older fart, but still young, age group
Wifey was 413
We do it for fun and to give us a goal for working out.
I see the bone Doc next week for my chronic knee pain
I'll never learn.
Our next 5K is the weekend of the 777 ride
And it's Jr's birthday that weekend.

Re: Another 5K
congrats! i'll ride/pedal anything 2 wheeled all day through just about anything, but running 5k is too grueling to me!
Re: Another 5K
It's all relative. In the Army we did 5, 10 and up to 25 miles , so 5K or 3.1 miles is a breeze.shift wrote:congrats! i'll ride/pedal anything 2 wheeled all day through just about anything, but running 5k is too grueling to me!
I do bike, but I find it boring. I may have to do the two wheel thing more often with my dodgy knees.

Re: Another 5K
Kathy and I are doing a 5k on the 4th in Winchester with a few other friends. Its a tough one with a lot of elevation changes, if you and the wife want a challenge, come on down.
F*** work.
Ride motorcycles.

Unfortunately that's family cook out and watch the sky day/night.

i ran xc in high school, and could do the 3.1 in 17:30 - 18:30 in the marines. i just feel like foot travel is the most primitive means of travel. pedaling on the road is also a yawnfest to me too. oddly enough, i wanna do at least an (off-road) half ironman someday. it's that running that will kill me. ha ha

I'm a rider/runner, good to hear of someone else that's stupid enough to do both.

Times? Not as good as previous years. But I was in at 24.50 and my SO at 29.51.
I was about a minute off my normal and SO has run 5k's in 27.30-28.00, so she had an off day.
It was a fairly flat course, but the sun was intense. Our next one has a good couple of hills. Summer road races kinda suck.

Yep, they do. I just ran one in the hills in WV and it was hot.
Sweat builds character.
