I did it! New 5K Record for me! Lansing Capitol City River Run

Jason Demmon Getting Ready for a RUn

LANSING, MI – I participated in the Lansing Capitol City River Run yesterday in Downtown, Lansing. I really wanted to do a 5K to Celebrate all of the training that I have done over the past few years. I beat my best training time, and my pace was better than ever! 7:23 per mile – I’ll take it! Iwas 4th in my age group, and placed 52nd out of 664. I’m happy, I did better than I had hoped for my first 5K!

There was a GREAT band playing at the end, and they provided pizza, fruit, and lots of water. There was a booth from the dairy industry giving away chocolate milk, but I didn’t have any because the milk’s ingredients were questionable: Sugar (most likely GMO Beet sugar) and Corn Starch. That was enough for me!

Next event coming in October! See you on the river trail!

When I started down this path, I was 60 lbs heavier. After many many many days running, swimming, biking, lifting at the gym, changing my diet completely, and trying to avoid chocolate chip cookies and pizza, here I am!
