[QUOTE="outta hours, post: 476351, member: 4568"] I usually do the 5k races with my brother in law and my sister in law. We have fun doing them. My times are mostly in the 26-29 minute range. But do consider that I am a feeder driver running in the Clydesdale division. I have actually won a few races in my age group 40-44. I will move up an age bracket this August to the 45-49 group. I really don't get nervous before running because I am only it it for the fun of it. I enjoy the pre and post race scene. When I first began doing races I was a bit intimidated and felt out of place being 6'4" and weighing 260 pounds. Especially with all those skinny people around. I still find great joy whenever I pass one of those "runner" type bodies. I can only imagine what they must be thinking as I lumber on past them. That being said the running community is a very friendly bunch. Most are very helpful and encouraging. I enjoy the feeling I get when I cross the finish line, it is quite a rush. My bro. and sis. in law both do triathlons. They have talked me into doing one so I have begun to cross train on the bike and in the pool. The bike is OK but I hate the pool. Thank goodness it's only a sprint tri and the swim is only 500 meters and not in the open water. I am confident I will be able to finish it and I think that will be quite a feeling when I cross that finish line. My workouts vary from day to day as I am using a tri training program. I post my workouts and diet and my sis in law checks them for me. Nothing like seeing what you have eaten for the last week in print. Well that's enough babble from me I look forward to reading about you other UPS runners. Good thread STUG. [/QUOTE]
