OT5K - POST #2

Working on the assumption that exercise class will improve my chances to do well in the 5k - went this morning and didn't even take a break except between miles 1 and 2 and 3.  Beginning to plan on my walking apparel. 

Next week I will select three ensembles for the walk.  1) cool weather; 2) warm weather; and, 3) wet weather.  Gee, if this were reality TV I could have you all vote on the most deserving outfit.  Of course, if I didn't like your choice I could just vote a bunch of times myself for the one I wanted anyway.

The Training Begins

This is the beginning of the Official Training for the 5K (OT5K) - had a meeting at the house with the gas people but still went to exercise class for 25 minutes (do you believe the amount of dedication being displayed?) - worked really hard for the 25 minutes. . .make that really 22 minutes because you have to deduct the 3 minutes spent putting on my jacket, coat, gloves, and sunglasses.

Had a good breakfast, consisting of OJ, muffin and honey, coffee, and pills which included a multivitamin and a naproxen for the impending pain caused by exercise. 

Rest of the day will be spent loading energy producing carbs and resting.

More to follow tomorrow.
