And the results:
Not too bad for my first race in 15+ years. I haven’t really run since high school. I was on the cross-country team and the track team. I was much better at cross-country than track – I didn’t like running circles! My brother and I were actually voted “Most Improved” the first year we ran (my freshman yr and his junior). So I have to say it feels good to get back out on the road and pound the payment. I am just praying this ol’ body of mine will be able to keep it up!
And since I love photos in a blog post, I thought I’d share some shots from high school running. I know you enjoyed seeing all those “blasts from the past” of me and Joe! So here we go…
Do you laugh when you look back at yourself? And why didn’t anyone tell me I had mushroom hair? Oh wait – I’m pretty sure Joe did tell me that – and he got the silent treatment for at least a day!
I’ll keep you up to date on my progress. Hopefully I can shave some time off my mile! My next long term goal is to train for a 10k – I want to run the Cooper Bridge Run in April!! Anyone else out there running? Or are you a speed walker? Biker? Do tell…
So proud of you! There's nothing better than a good run. I looked out my window yesterday morning and saw a young woman running with her dog. It made me miss it so much. Maybe you are just the inspiration I needed!
ReplyDeleteKaty - I want to be a runner also. Abby and I did the turkey trot and it has me itching to do more. So proud of you.
