June 27 - Go, Big Girl, Go!

Jul 01, 2009

Today was a long, long day. I woke up around two A.M. after having some weird dream where I got lost on the 5K route and ended up in someone's yard playing with a hedge hog or something strange. No performance anxiety there, huh? Took almost two hours to get back to sleep.

Got up and got to the race. Finished in 45 minutes, 26 seconds. I usually walk at a 17 minute/mile pace, so that was really good for me. I was also psyched that I wasn't really tired when I finished. Even thought about completing the 10K route for a split second. I haven't really been sticking to the Couch to 5K thing the way I should, and this was pretty motivating. It's been at least eight years since the last time I entered a 5K and though I don't remember my time from back then, I know it was well over an hour.



I really felt like I'd accomplished something after the race, and I'm thinking about doing another one in August. I've got the entry form... we'll see.

Anyway, the rest of the day was spent running. I took photos at a car show. Went to a celtic music festival. Hit a used book sale at the library. Went out to the ranch for the annual cattle branding (I don't brand myself, I just go to the party afterward). Went to church to rehearse for tomorrow's mass. Went to the grocery store searching for something interesting to photograph for this week's SP Shutterbugs assignment. Came home, cooked dinner, read a little bit, and then hopped online to quickly chat with all of you! It's already time for bed.



Blessings!
