The results from yesterday’s Healthy Kids, Healthy Weight Run/Walk were posted, today. They broke down the results by just about every category you would want; be it male/female or age group. As I had written in my race recap, yesterday, They also had given us all a chip to attach to our shoes which allows everyone to get a specific time on their run, rather than just a gun time. So I was able to see exactly how I stacked up against the rest of the race participants.
Here are The results of the Healthy Kids, Healthy Weight Run/Walk. If you click on the male age group of 30-34 you will see my result – in all of it’s baseline glory. There were 16 participants in my age group and I finished dead last. My chip time (so the total time it took my chip to cross both the starting line and the finish line) was 40:21 – yikes. That’s over 40 minutes to travel 3 miles by jogging and walking. I finished 187th out of 234… Let’s cut this short and just say there’s a lot of room for improvement. This was pretty much the exact baseline I thought I would see but needed confirmed. I am way out of shape and need to keep this effort in the forefront of my mind at all times, right now.
Every day I am asking myself, the following questions:
- Is today one of the minimum 5 days this week where I work out?
- What will I do for my work out?
- When will I work out?
… and while that doesn’t sound like much, it’s a big step forward. That’s the first and last time I ever finish last in anything that I try – period.
