10k Run

Apr 27, 2009

04/27/09 - I am so proud of myself.  This past Saturday my husband & I competed in the annual HIGH ROCK CHALLENGE, which is a 10k run thru the Staten Island Greenbelt. Along the way - all kinds of "obstacles" are thrown at us, such as: scaling up a rock mountain, climbing over a 15' cargo net, pulling ourselves up a rope hill on a dolly, shimming along a 2 ft high drainage with rushing water, all while running along a muddy terrain (and let me tell you as the day progressed, it got muddier!) a little over 2 1/2 hrs later we arrived at the finish line & were BEYOND EXHAUSTED...but were damn proud of ourselves that we finished the course!

Later on in the day, the organizer of the race - who happens to be a friend of mine told me that they added an extra 1.3 miles to the race - so instead of 10k, I actually completed a 12k run!!!   Ask me if this was even a possibility last April & my answer would have been
HELL NO!
