Since the beginning of this year, I have really tried to take advantage of some of the free time I have by going to the gym. It seems to be paying off, as I have felt a lot better lately than compared to years past. I finally decided to put my body to the test this past Saturday. I entered a 5K run supporting scholarships for UTSA, my alma mater. The conditions under which I ran in real life as opposed to those in the gym were somewhat different, but they must have been more beneficial. I ended up completing the slow jog/fast walk in 37:46 which was quite a bit faster than the 45:00 I was aiming for. I felt pretty darn good about it and would definitely like to try for a better time somewhere down the road.
