A long time ago I promised C that I would run a 5k with him. I finally made good on that promise. We've been running together for a long time, but have never run a race together. The school district I work for had a benefit run put on by a local market. One week before the race we did a little run in conjunction with the church Easter egg hunt, my time on that was okay, but not great. The day of the race came, I got in my zone with High School Musical sound tracks playing on my iPod. Our goal was to beat the little dog (see pic below)! The horn blew and 1300 of my new found friends and I started running. C was keeping track of our mile times and we were rocking it!
The final stretch came and I kicked it in full gear, knocked 2 people off I was hoping to beat, and finished in 35:17 (according to the chip on my shoe)! A new personal record!!!! It was awesome and we had a ton of fun. After the run the market provided a decadent breakfast, a perfect ending to the race!
So needless to say I may have turned into one of "those people" who run to relax or burn the daily stress. Just give me a good beat and I'm good to go!
We're running to Cloud 9!
