A 5k

I managed in the past few days to do some exercise in a week where I have done none. Yesterday I ran around after a football, and today I ran a 5k after socialising with good friends till late.

My time today for the 5k was almost 21 minutes. I have seen my break down in times, but I simply was not able, or inclined to push myself faster. It was interesting running at this pace because there was certainly more competition. Of particular note was watching three men with 'Men's Fitness' T-shirts running past me. Or, at least, one did. Like I often do (did) he shouted a war-cry and ambled past.

I followed him somewhat, and hurdled over the finish line.

For me, that sprint finished worked for me to push into 18 minutes. For me to push those seconds down when I am pushing 21 minutes is not something that I warrant worthwhile. Why is that?
