I am amazed - I CAN go futher than 5 km, all it takes is some mental stimulation (science podcasts rather than just toons).
Next stop, the Thanksgiving Turkey Trot (5 MILES, hence my upped training).

Yeah, well, I had to knock down a few old biddies, and I pushed one guy into the emergency poles between the lanes in the tunnel, but it's worth it for a PB.

Another nice run, on an empty stomach (2 pm), avoided cramp with pre-emptive deep breathing. Looking good to make 30' later this week or early next, Next Stop: Tunnel to Towers Sept 27!
