I began my campaign to get back in shape rather suddenly today with a 5K race on the Silver Comet Trail. To say that I actually ran a 5K is a little deceiving. In actuality I ran most of the first mile, then alternated walking and running in 2-3 minute intervals. I finished with a time of 35:12 which I consider terribly slow, but it gives me a mark to improve upon. It is my goal, through consistent running and physical activity, to cut that time down to 21-22 minutes over the next several months.

Trial by fire, like it
. Best wishes on this venture!
