It wasn't too long ago when Steve and Sherri started training for the "Race the Reserve" 5K run. We have shared with you our progress ever step of the way. Some of you may be thinking, "Hallelujah, we don't have to see another post about this run"; while others may appreciated or relate to the dedication it takes to accomplishing a goal, struggles and all.
Steve and Sherri set out to do this event together, along with two other friends. Unfortunately, our friend Carolyn, will have to sit this race out due to a severely sprained ankle,(which landed her in a fashionable boot we might add), for a few weeks. Also, Steve will not be able to run the race (doctors order), but is allowed to walk it; as long as he has some kind of support on his calf
Since starting this journey Sherri's goal has been to run the course in less than 30 minutes (more like 29:59), but it appears that probably won't happen. At this point in her training, Sherri can't seem to break the 30 minute mark. Today she ran 3.1 miles in 32 minutes, 27 seconds, shaving off a mere 8 seconds from her last run.
The biggest thing to take away from this experience is not how fast the course can be run, but rather our overall fitness. It is so important to be active, whether it is walking, running or playing your favorite sport. Just do something!!
Saturday will be here before we know it, and the race we've been training for will be over. We will post one more blog relating to this topic after the run. Hopefully, we will be able to post a pic or two as well.
Until Saturday...
