Struggling

Well, I knew this wasn't going to be easy, but I don't think I realized that it might not be realistic at all.  It seems like I'm getting slower and having more difficulty keeping going.   I'm not sure whether to take a break or keep at it.  We'll see and I'll keep you posted.

LA JOLLA 5K, APRIL 28, 2013

This past weekend we did a 5K in beautiful La Jolla, California, which is down in San Diego area.  It was perfect weather for a race, a little overcast, but not cold.  This race is a smaller part of the La Jolla Half Marathon, which is a really tough half that starts in Del Mar and ends in La Jolla Cove.   That one is a bit too tough for me - maybe next year.  The 5K itself is an interesting race, it starts out with a long downhill, goes through some neighborhoods and by the beach and has a tough uphill towards the end, with the last half mile or so leading you down into the cove. 

It was a well run race as usual, with lots of great volunteers and well organized.  The only complaint I had was my T-shirt, which was, well, a bit small - like child size.  Ah well, as if I don't have more T-shirts than I know what to do with at this point!
