Well, the day I made my last post was the day I hit a hiccup. I severely sprained my hand almost 3 weeks ago now...during a soccer game, of course. I was racing a girl to the ball, got tripped, fell, landed on my right hand, and hyper extended the whole dang thing! So, needless to say, my training was slowed down a bit. I still can't really use my right hand...talk about inconvenient!
I have still continued to do what I can do. I went running a couple of times outside the following week, since it was the last week before the time change...I wanted to enjoy those nice evenings before it started getting dark right after work. I hopped in a pool for the first time last week, but hand was still not ready for swimming, ouch! I did get to run a bit at the gym last week.
My first regular 5k race was this past Saturday evening at Lake Lanier. My time wasn't great, but it was my first race of the type. I'm just getting started. I have to remind myself of that. I finished when the clock was under 33 min, but I'm not sure what my start time was. On the treadmill, my 5k runs are around 27-30 min. Room for improvement, for sure.
Last week I also bit the bullet...the big one. I registered for the Iron Girl Triathlon on May 20!
I am possibly interested in a half-marathon eventually, but I want to perfect my 5k time and up the ante to 10k first. I have a ways to go...
