(Notice we are still smiling!) Why am I wearing that huge necklace??!!
I ran a 5K on Saturday at 9am and my goal was 32 minutes since my sister-in-law was landing in the BWI airport at 9:32. Surprisingly enough, I ran it in 27 minutes, so that was very encouraging. Then something shocking happened. I left before the awards ceremony to pick up Ashley, but my friends stayed to check it out. Apparently, I got 2nd in my age division and got a trophy! I am almost embarrassed, but my ultimate goal was to force myself to go out and accomplish something I really want to do. I haven't been that consistent in working out, but I like to run. Crazy, huh? The best part of all was running with some good friends of mine and I loved the comradery and encouragement that I got from them. You girls are the best! Anyone want to join me? I am planning another one. . . :)
That is so fun that you guys did that. 27 min is great! I will have to try one of those sometime. My sister has been asking me to do one with her. You and Sarah have inspired me. Although I run her in my dungeon. I only run 2 miles comfortably! Three would be a stretch but a good challenge.
ReplyDeleteGood job on the 2nd place - you rock!! I'm working towards a 5K with you but I'm not going to be as fast. I'm just aiming to finish at first then I'll go for time.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS! You are a motivation!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I love running with friends and I love running 5K's! I'm impressed with your goal and time! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job! It was so much fun. Thanks for encouraging me to do it. :)
