Jogged to riverfront to watch local 5k. They had over 750 runners for first year & raised over 50k for cause ... pretty cool. I thought about racing ... and should have as 20:25 won the 40-49 age group & they had some good loot ... Mizuno bag, $20 restaurant gift cert., 4 pairs of running socks ... not bad for an age group winner! Of course, the thought of getting up & running 6:30 miles was not too appealing, but it was fun to watch & cheer on other runners. The mind wants to run more/train harder ... but I am pretty much scared of injury ... and my old body tells me to take it easy. Consistency is not something I have been able to maintain the last 3 months due to my knee issues ... and since those seem to have passed ... that is what I will strive to get back to!
