WTG on the leg press!!!!

Do you know how fast you run a mile in or 2 miles? Based on that you

could predict your 5K time. Here's an online calculator to help

http://www.runningtimes.com/pace/predict.htm Of course, if there are

a lot of hills on the course, that could slow you down.

I ran my first 10K last summer and predicted my time to within a few

seconds and I wasn't wearing a watch. This race was a race where you

had to predict your time and watches weren't allowed.

One race and I bet you'll be hooked! I look forward to hearing about your

first race. I hear Cleveland has some nice ones!

PS-the 20 MAS is great training for racing!

I suspect the same.

Yesterday I walked 5 mins. at 4mph, then ran 5 mins. at 6mph - 2xs...with a 3

min warm up and 3 min. cool down. I noticed I am burning less calories on

with this so far. My 20MAS has me burning 200 cals and this had me burning 170

yesterday. I did not use any incline yesterday due to the heavy LBW I did the

day before. (I'm hobbling today). Tomorrow I will repeat the above routine.

I will introduce a mild incline if the sore/stiffness has subsided enough in

my legs.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. It absolutely feels wonderful to

accomplish even the smallest of goals. [Grin]
