In an effort to have more fun and less stressing about time, we brought these guys along to the track:
Jack and Maple in Kieley's car. They were pumped. So were we.
Maple and I were running partners this evening. It was so nice to run with someone who, like my other running buds, expresses pure joy out of exploring new turf - but who is also constantly smiling! Kinda reminded me of Mr. Martinez. I'm still working on developing that skill.
Water break! Out of a pickle jar!
We stopped for water and walked quite a bit, but we had a good time. The best part was when I got home, this had come in the mail:
All I do is win.
Lesson learned? Running a 5k every day not only better prepares you for future races, but also improves your performance on past ones, too, apparently! Thanks to Mom for that conclusion! While I thought I got 3rd on that race (Mom and I had a big birthday agenda that day, so we took off early and asked the director to quickly give us the "medals") that sparked this whole adventure, apparently I was supposed to have gotten 1st! I WON in my 20-25 age group! Still don't know if it was 1st out of 3...or out of 1...but either way, nice to add it to the collection. I wonder if I got 1st that day if I still would have been motivated to do all this....
Day.19.5k.total.time: Yep I don't know.
