Tonight I ran the Ghostly Gecko 5k! It was a Halloween themed 5k with tons of great costumes. I, of course, was lame and didn't wear a costume. Maybe next year. It had a one mile stretch of river front running, which was super nice. I walked about one mile of the 5k, but the rest I ran.
My time: 41:20.6
First Mile: 12.22.8
Second Mile: 25.29.2
I ended with a 13:21 minute mile, which I was pleased with. I'm just now jumping back on the running train, and this was better than any of my treadmill runs. I'm also pleased that I survived the heat and humidity. It was over 80 degrees but it didn't feel quite so nasty. The humidity was definitely there, which is really what kills me when I'm running, but I wasn't constantly worried about it.
My calves did start tightening up along the outside which I imagine means I need new shoes. I'll ask the internet what it thinks before making any big purchases. Especially since I just bought this beauty:
