On Saturday, May 14th, I "ran" my first 5K race with my buddy Loreen. It served as an unofficial capstone to our 12 weeks in the YMCA's Move2Lose program, during which neither of us lost much weight... but we did move quite a bit.
We ran ran ran... then walked a bit. Then ran ran ran... and walked some more. And finally... ran ran ran ran [then I dropped my phone agk!] and ran ran ran [pant] [pant] until we crossed the finish line. Loreen totally could have taken off without me, but she stayed by my side. Awwwww. Thanks Loreen!!
It was good fun, and I am finally beginning to understand that vague concept of "runners high." There's another 5K at George Rogers Clark Park on May 22nd, and I think I might run that one too. Yum yum, this sort of torture is fun!
