Going the distance (sorta)

Registered for a virtual 5K (runningnerds' Virtual Half Marathon and Treadmill Challenge 5K) this month. 

Surprised with my finish (45:15, pace 14:35/mi, 543 cal)

Walk/run (4.0/4.5 mph) - 4:00/1:00 (last 0.1 mile 5.0 mph)
Mile 1 - 14:41
Mile 2 - 29:21
Mile 3 - 44:00

Even more surprisingly my knees did OK - some soreness, but it was bearable).  Think I will stick with the shorter distances (probably no more halfs or marathons, maybe marathon relays).
