This past Saturday I reopened a door to a past addiction. Running in Races. Over the past 4 weeks I have been training to run in a 5K with Tony and Nicole and it has just seemed like running during these past weeks. And that was just the intention when we showed up Saturday morning to this run. Intention was just to run. But now I think I have instilled the urge to want to RACE. As in, trying to increase my time and see what is the best that I can do. It brought back feelings that I had stored in me for the last 10 years. Not sure why I didn't recall those until actually crossing the finish line, but that's how it happened. So I think my outlook on running has changed a bit.
Embarrassingly enough I'm gonna post my time here. Knowing what frame of mind I was in, it is embarassing. Only because everyone else was out there to run a RACE. I was out there to run a RUN. Make sense?? But things might change now. I think I'm getting into RACE mode after being in the mix of it on Saturday with the names called, times stated, and all the awards handed out. I'm actually really excited to see what becomes of it all. So you want to know the time?? LOL! Okay, here it is.. 35:03.
Yup thats the time.. {sigh}. Anyways, this was a really tough course with hills involved and from the sounds of the other
runners racers, this was one of the toughest courses in this area for a 5K. Makes me feel a little better that I at least finished it.
Who knows... Maybe One day we can look back at this time and then I will be laughing with you! :)
