It turned out to be a wonderful day today. The sun came out and made for a great morning shakeout run, kept it to 3.1 miles so I didn’t overdo it for the afternoon race. The 5K race went exceptionally well, I thought, especially for it being my first one. I actually recorded my personal record time of 28:38 for the 5K distance, I am sure it had to do with competing with others and running in a pack. I didn’t take as many walking breaks and actually felt invigorated at the end. Definitely will compete again next year, tying to beat my time this year and I will be in a different age bracket so that might help put me in a higher spot for my age range. Overall I had a great experience and plan on searching for more upcoming 5K races during the summer since the next race I signed up for isn’t until October. I have also been compiling a list of the things I own personally, not for the home, but just items that are mine and that only I exclusively use. So far I am up to about 75 items, but I know there are more than that which I have forgotten about. I plan on applying The Minimalists rule about spontaneous combustion. It says that if an item you have should happen to spontaneously combust, would you buy it again? I can see many of these items on my list would be a no, but I plan on slowly working through them to purge what I know I don’t actually need. It does help in making a list of what you have, you don’t realize how much you own until it is all laid out in front of you.
