287 Five minutes

oooooohhhh.  I did my five minute "run" yesterday before I did my strength training.  The best that I can say is that I passed up the girl on crutches.  I wasn't aware before that each leg weighed about 100 lbs.  SHEESH.  In all fairness though, I have to admit that I probably wasn't any worse off than I was 20 years ago when I first tried this program.  Back then, I actually had someone pull over and ask if I needed help during one of my early runs. I'm not exaggerating when I say I'm slow.  Anyway, back then I eventually worked up to the point where I could "run" (shuffle slowly) for an hour at a stretch. I want to get to that point again.  What I REALLY want is to be able to run a respectable 5K.  I don't even care if I'm toward the back of the pack so long as I'm a PART of the pack, and not trailing in alone 15 minutes after everyone else is finished.
