As part of my motivational efforts to keep myself moving, I am trying to walk a 5K event once a month. In June there was the Parkinson's Wellness Chapter's fundraiser Steady Strides. In. July it was the Hyde Park Blast. In August the Association for the Blind did one in a lovely setting -- Spring Grove ( Cemetery and Arboretum) and in September the Sunflower Revolution was another Parkinson' event. My event for this month was the Warrior Run, which benefits the local teen suicide prevention program.
I had done the first four in 45 minutes or less, but after some recent forays back into the world of running, I decided to try running this one. Well, it may have easier with someone to run with, but I did it mostly. I ran almost 2 miles, slowed to a brisk walk at the water stop (for about 1/3 of a mile maybe), picked it up to a run again, walked about another two-tenths of a mile near the end and ran across the finish line. My time was around 34 minutes!
I don't know that I really want to engage in such high impact exercise, but the high intensity is good. And I wasn't even sore! Who wants speed walk with me in November?
