Today, John & I ran our first 5K together.  It was sponsored by a middle school PTA and except for the start which was uphill, it was mostly flat.  I have only started running since the beginning of September and only about 2-3 times a week at best.  Neither of us had any illusions of finishing in the top 3 for the 30-35 year olds.  My finishing time was 29 min 15 sec. and John’s was 31 minutes.  I had to leave him behind at the 1.5 mile marker
