I was finally able to get a run in this morning and it felt great. I intended to run in the evening but the clock radio advised that the mild temperature wouldn't last until the evening so I dragged my ass out of bed and I ran my 5K route in just over 53 minutes. Remember at 250 lbs I'm no speed demon but in the final 200-300 meters I was able to kick a much faster pace then the rest of my run. It was quite a shock to find that I was able to pur on some speed with almost no gasping for breath or sore muscles. I really should start some sort of speed training now that I am confident of actually finishing the 5K in March it would be nice if I didn't come in last.
