Last week I upped my
per run mileage
and
did some Yoga
apparently my 40 year old
body decided it was too much
and rebelled
so I haven’t run in a week
I hate that
I hate when I get motivated and serious
my body gives out
not like my mind is playing games
maybe I am a wimp
at the same time
I can’t get hurt
and be laid up with an injury
I will get at it again this week
probably the dreadmill
but at least it’s moving
So this was my first 10K
Longest run since
Bloomsday 12K
Wasn’t impressed with
the lack of organization
Maybe I am spoiled
with Bloomsday
and Race for the Cure’s
My biggest ‘issue’
no porta potties
seriously
I am the ONLY
runner
that can’t finish
6 miles without needing one?
Whatever.
The start and finish lines
were not marked.
To get our shirts we had to go to a bar
that doesn’t bother me
I met my husband in a bar
but you can’t stuff
however many runners
that are
sweaty
and
stinky
into a small place!
G.R.O.S.S!
Anyway
I was shooting for 90 min
my time was
1:30:31
I count is as a success.
I had signed up for Bloomsday
Part of my ‘training’ was
Spokane’s
Race for the Cure
in
Honor of
my 2nd Race for the Cure
was 2 weeks ago
my next one will be
in memory of
Love you Jamie!
4/6/1971-10/3/10
I will not stop
Racing for a Cure!
It’s official
I had
the DREAM
you know the one
where you are late for the race
then getting lost
I was running the
10K that is scheduled
Sunday
I am at an amazing 6min mile
(now I KNOW this is a dream)
then the 1/2 marathoners are let loose
and I get off course
then I stop to talk to
my friends
Donna and Sarah
who completed the 1/2 before
my 10K
Then I woke up!
no pictures
no cheers from the crowd
no actual race
just me and my lil ‘ol self
I ended up doing 4 miles
2 miles in town
got too stinking hot
and
drove 15 minutes to home
I decided I felt better and ran 2 more
I sure hope it isn’t 73 out
next Sunday for the
10K
In January I couldn’t
WALK
4 miles much less
wog it
Okay jog a bit, walk a bit
I have completed BOTH
Race for the Cure’s
without walking
Something special about them
I am motivated.
