Guest Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Nice Pics...was this a 5K??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc7 Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 Yep. It was the first 5K I've run in over two years. I'm kinda scare of them because they're so intense. But I've got two more planned for this summer, and this was a great start to the season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offense74 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Awesome Is 5K 5Km or is it some strange American measurment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc7 Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 5K is five kilometers. It would be kinda odd for us to be using funny American measurements up here in Canada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offense74 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 5K is five kilometers. It would be kinda odd for us to be using funny American measurements up here in Canada! Didn't Canada also have the yard, foot, thumb, goat and poncho measuring system like the US has until recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xveganjoshx Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 This is great! It's so awesome to see vegan athletes competing, beating their PR's, and surpassing their goals! Great Job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc7 Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 "Power Vegan" what was your time? My time was 21:48, which is 59 seconds faster than my previous best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 5K is five kilometers. It would be kinda odd for us to be using funny American measurements up here in Canada! Didn't Canada also have the yard, foot, thumb, goat and poncho measuring system like the US has until recently? No, we used the index finger, ankle-to-knee, beaver and toque system. It's totally unique to Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markc7 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Thanks everyone! cool, you look muscular like a sprinter! I know, and actually this held me back from doing longer distance runs for a long time. I thought that someone with a sprinter's body couldn't do long races. Then seven years ago I saw a big muscular guy finishing the local marathon and I thought "I could do this!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
