Ran at Wheeler Farm with son and dog (on leash). Nice area to run, good temp, overcast, trees. Ran the outer loop. Started with stretches. Then ran 5K at effort (for me) - around 33 minutes. I was at least consistent with 11 minute miles. Took 5 minute water break and ran 4 more miles at 13 minute pace. I realize these times are slow compared to most, but they were OK for me and that was long distance. I at least tried. Heel plantar problem was tolerable. I did get a bloody right little toe for some reason

Stopped at animal pens at end. the pigs were fascinated with my golden retriever. Two small donkeys also ran with us when we went by their enclosure. My golden sure wished he was free with all the ducks around

Hi Sarah

Have had several ongoing personal issues to deal with that have been very challenging and stressful and have taken away my time and energy for fitness. As far as running, I started up in February then got overwhelmed after running a few days with really bad right heel pain (diagnosed as plantar fascitus). Ive been working on that problem and pain is slowly residing, so Im behind in being in shape for running (thus alot slower). Alexander hasnt started running on a regular basis like Benjamin, because he has been vey active in basketball and now baseball. He has started running some with me and home from school as time allows. He has a 5K Saturday at his school so that may help to get him motivated. Take care

We'll pray that things go better for you.

good luck to Alexander on his 5k. With his natural talent I'm sure playing sports at school has kept him in good shape.

Hope things go well for you.
