Ashifa here..... So, we have learned some interesting news...the Markham resolution run route was actually 5.2km rather than 5.0km. Sooo...assuming all other things equal, our 5k times were actually 43 minutes and 46 minutes...still pretty sucky...but just that little bit less embarrassing!
We are both currently working on making improvements to this time, and our goal for the end of 2009 is being able to run a 5k in 30 minutes. Yesterday I ran a 4k on the treadmill in 34 minutes - so hopefully it's not too unrealistic of a goal!
We wanted to also share a couple of links for those of you training for upcoming stupid things. A handy tool to calculate distance run is google pedometer: www.gmap-pedometer.com - we've found it very useful it logging our mileage no matter what town or city we might find ourselves in.
We also wanted to share an upper-body challenge that we'd invite anyone interested to join in on! It's a 6-week training program that should enable you to do 100 consecutive push-ups at the end of 6 weeks. Check it out at: http://www.hundredpushups.com/ We're both working on it, and have gotten various friends/family members on board as well!
Happy training! :-)
