Drum Roll Please

I ran in a local 5K yesterday as one more step towards my multi sport conversion. I was used to the heavy mouth breathing, burning legs and general discomfort of an all out effort but i felt awkward. What do I do with my arms? How do I warm up? Should I start fast and pace later?

The gun went off and I pushed the pace right from the get go. The lead pack of runners put a good bit of distance in the first few seconds and I remembered I was not a runner. I settled in to a huffing and puffing hobble and tried to pick runners that looked about my speed. I ended up pacing behind a junior high girls track team. It took everything I had to stay with them. I was wheezing, panting and suffering while they giggled about the animals in the zoo, boys without shirts on and Hannah Montana. It served as motivation to keep running.
