Yesterday I ran the 11th Annual Monument Ave. 10K. This was my second year running this race and while I do not consider myself a runner nor do I really enjoy running there is something to be said to run in a race like this one. This year was a lot tougher of a race for me (I didn’t really train at all) but I got through the entire race and ran the entire way. Oh did I mention I knocked off almost nine minutes from last years time…
Again this year my parents did not come out to support me. I guess I should learn to expect that from them but a huge part of me wants to have them there cheering me on along the race and to be there to give me a high five at the end. While this obvisously did not happen Amber, one of my best friends from college, called me shortly after I had finished to see how I did. This one phone call made my day and picked me up from the slump I was in from not having parental support…
My body was killing me yesterday. To make things worse I had to go into the GAP and they kept my on-call. I was walking (if you could call it that) like an old man about to die. Once I got home I took some Excedrin and crawled into bed with the heating pad. It was one of the best nights sleep that I had gotten in a while…
Running my second 10K has gotten me thinking about potentially tackling a half marathon. One of the many running groups in Richmond has a training team for this race and while it is kinda pricy I think I might just go ahead and do it. I do not ever see myself running a full marathon because 26.2 miles seems way to long to me…
Okay enough rambling for right now. I need to tackle the day and actually do some cleaning…
I saw your time (yes, I cyber sluethed it!) and I think you did awesome! Nine minutes off is awesome! I think you should be very proud of yourself! Sorry your parents didn’t come. That does stink, even if you expect it. And sorry you had tgo go to work! No fun!
