Oops

See, I am obviously bad at keeping up with this thing! I just KNEW I would be. I must try harder!

So on Sunday we ran our first 5K together! Yeah, I say "together" but in actuality, we were not running together at all. Josh promptly left me in his dust. But that's ok! I figure I hold him back all the time so why not let him go all out during the race! He finished in 24 minutes and I finished somewhere in the 37 minute mark. Not tooo bad for a first 5K, but not good either. I was disappointed in myself, mostly because I ended up having to walk probably 1/2 a mile throughout the race. Not all at once, but I had to walk a few times. In my defense, the course was much more hilly than we'd been running, it was 4:00 pm (WHO does a race that late in the day?!) and I was wearing pants instead of shorts. See, we'd been running in the evenings and it was much cooler out, it just so happened that this Sunday, of all days, it decided to stay warm instead of cooling off. So I was dying hot. Oh well. Lesson learned.

I'm glad that is behind me. I was miserable the whole time, but for some reason, I am now looking forward to running another one! Why you ask? I HAVE NO IDEA!!!! I think I just want to prove that I CAN run an entire 5K and then maybe, one day, I will move on to a 10K! But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves there.. ;)

We haven't worked out since the race on Sunday because on Monday, I was lazy and Josh was sore, and then last night, Tuesday, Josh didn't feel well and I was again lazy and didn't feel like working out by myself. TONIGHT we're jumping back on the wagon!
