I had started running and training for races back in December, but quit when I had my first thyroidectomy, and didn't get started again until about a month ago.
Luckily - miraculously - I managed to not only participate, but to finish, and maintained a running pace the entire time, except for a brief pause to drink water. I just can't drink when I run, apparently.
My time was 39:13, which is pretty good for an out of shape guy.
The only bummer - apart from nearly puking and having the world spin around me at finish - was that my Nike+iPod announced that I had completed 5 kilometers when, in reality, I had several hundred more meters to go. Kat said that they can be re-calibrated, but still, it was depressing to hear the digital voice announce that I was done, but to see the finish line so, so far away.
So yay, one more down!
