Number 5

Update on the 30 before 30 list.

I successfully completed number 5 a few months ago.  I ran the Buffalo Stampede in College Station with a few friends from work and my dad.

Let me rephrase.  I jogged the 5k.  My dad ran circles around me.

Really.

And then he would jog beside me going backwards.  Ugh.

But I was proud that I ran/jogged the whole way.  I never quite made it all the way to 3.1 miles in any of the training runs, so I was quite happy that I ran the whole way without having a heart attack.  Actually, there is definitely something to be said for adrenaline during a race.  It really helps.



I'm not posting an after the race photo.  There is no after the race photo because my face was all red and I was sweaty.  Not attractive.

As for my running career....

I might have logged five miles in the four months since the 5k.  I'll have to cross professional marathoner off the potential career list.

There are discussions of a 10k this spring.  I'll keep you posted.
