He's still hibernating. I am not. |
Long winter. I
have not been running. I saw this
Color Run 5K and thought, oh my, that would be fun. I told the runners about it at school. Oh yes, sounds great – let’s do
it! Then I forgot about it. Darn, if I didn’t get a FB message from
one of them – we signed up. Sign
up. Signed up quickly, which was a
good thing, because the 1st race closed before the first day’s registration
was over. So cool I’m signed up –
but wait that means I’m signed up! I have to starting running and get in shape to do this
thing. I am not one of these girls
that can just pick up and run 3 miles after not running for a while. I can’t even run 1 mile after a long hiatus. So even though my friend, Mr. Groundhog
is still warm in his burrow, I got myself to the park and got through 2 miles
with a lot of walking mixed in. It
was super cold. The sun was out
but the wind was whipping. It was
brisk to say the least. Then tonight
I jumped on the treadmill. (I HATE
THE TREADMILL). I got through 3
miles. The last mile I did one of
the programmable things where it sets your pace. I had never done it before – kind of slow but okay. I have about two months until the Color
Run. On MY mark, get ready, GO!
