5k .. Boo Yah!!!

[lostingeekdom]

 First time ever .. I managed to hit 5k running non-stop on the treadmill this morning. I've been trying on and off for the past couple of years to get to this. Now, I just need to work on maintaining this and increasing my speed and distance.

Gear wise - still in by BFF-VFFs. Favorite model for running is the Five Fingers Bikilas. And the KSO

Oh those shoes!!!! I mean shoe-gloves!!!! Love that they work for you, mate! And, seriously, well done... I can barely *walk* 5K (okay, no I *can* walk it!). Mind you, knowing you and your fitness, I'm not surprised either!

Well done on the 5k, that's great! that's so interesting about the merino wool jerseys, are they sort of special running ones? Is it boiling there at the moment? Yeah, on the inhaler stuff... I think we can all use these things as reasons (and not arguing that you shouldn't be careful and preventative and stuff). but it's good to whip it's arse too!

Yayayayay!!!!!

I had slacked on my fitness for a few months, but I'm trying to work at it again.

See link .. it kinda sums up the basic pro-merino points:

3 blocks without stopping! That's a great accomplishment. I'm so happy for you that you're psyched about your footwear and shirts and the whole deal - that's such a neat place to be. It's also a pretty good way to insure that you'll keep at it.

Well .. let's see how long I'll be able to keep up. I had too many excuses for slacking off, and I'm just trying to get back into the rhythm of things. And yep .. 3 blocks! Imagine that!
