RadioU: The Theme and the 5k...

Kevin just e-mailed in his latest PS3 theme:


Sweet! If you've got anything like this, e-mail it in! We'd love to see it. If you look closely you can see that Kevin recently downloaded the Haze demo. I'll bet he's glad he got the demo and didn't waste his money on the game...

It was my intention last week to start a twice a week feature here on the blog about the RadioU 5k and how my training was going for it. Obviously, this didn't happen, but I'm going to start writing about it as of NOW!

We've given you guys stacks of online resources for training schedules. I hope you're using them. Me? I haven't adopted an official training schedule (which I need to) but my general rule of thumb is that I'm running 4-5 times a week to get ready. How is the week shaping up so far? Yesterday I got in 2 miles which is LAME. It was supposed to be 4 but due to interference and a technical difficulty (long story) it was cut in half. Today I got out and managed the 4 miles I had been planning. It took around 41 minutes which is not a great pace, but holy crap... what a run! It felt like I was fighting for my breath the entire time I was running. The experience was intensely miserable. I'm not sure whether it was the 85 degrees or the pollen in the air. Whichever it was (or a potential third option: I'm just not in great shape), I'm glad its over. Theres a whole lotta runnin' to do before the 5k.

E-mail your progress in and tell your friends! The 5k is coming up Friday, June 27!
