Total Distance
3.00

9 more days before the first 5K of 2009. The 3.0 miles wasn't too bad but the humidity played heck with my body temperature and I felt a bit overheated around the 2.25 mi mark. I slowed the pace a bit was able to finish strong enough.

3.00 mi in 35:23 at 11:47/mi avg burning 387 calories.

Hey Kelly! I went to Carriage Hills Elementary and Central Junior High. My dad was stationed at Ft Sill in the eighties.

Good luck on your 5k!

Good to hear from you montelespy. We came to Lawton in December of 1990 and haven't left yet. As I grow older I may have to move a bit further north to avoid running in the summer heat here in SW Oklahoma.
