Alan E

I teach high school and coach cross country. I enjoy helping young athletes become better runners and better people. I also enjoy running myself when my achilles let me. I go to the gym and am learning about weightlifting. Currently using the Strong Lifts 5x5 program. I would really love to add some lean muscle mass.

Ran the first 5k in 24:06 (33 seconds faster than my 5k race time 2 days ago) then eased into 2km more to cool down. 7km is the longest I've run in over a year. :D

I rode my bicycle about a mile to the start/finish area and ran with a co-worker, whom I've never ran with before. We pushed each other and had a lot of fun! Finished 99th out of 743 finishers at the Law Day 5k in Belleville, IL!

You're making me jealous, although there's quite a bit of eye candy at my gym too. It's good to have extra incentives to work out, right? :)

That was a great run Alan! under 5 minute k's, well done :) And it sounds like the post run activites were lots of fun too. How are your Achilles?

Thanks, Jane. My achilles are better than they used to fel after a hard 5k, but I've still got a ways to go before I'm back to 100%. Small steps, but enjoying the return to normal activities. :)
