A huge wave of pink covered the streets of Greensboro this Saturday as more than 3000 runners and walkers gathers for the
Women's Only 5k at the Womens Hospital. The expo was awesome. There was a booth for massages, skin care, Newbridge Bank, and varioud doctor offices. There was also wonderful jazzercise warm-up for children and adult runners. The route consisted of hills, hills, and more hills! How did I do? Drum roll please!
I didn't reach my PR of 25 minutes (sigh), my offical time was 27:22. Even thou my cardio trainer app clocked me at 26:50. On the bright side, for my age category (30-34) I placed 13th out of 365 women. Overall I was 99th out of 3167 ladies. So in the spirit of keeping it positive I must pat myself on the back.
So what did I learn. First I must work hills back into my routine once a week. Second I will continue my timed miles and running with my group. Third, I rememered to celebrate my successes. I will be honest and say that seeing my time on paper was dissappointing but it wasn't all about times and numbers. I supported a worthy cause, reunite with friends, spend the day with my favorite guy, and do one of my favorite things... run. This will definitely be an event I participate in again next year.

That was a great run! You should be happy with it. Maybe next 5k. If I could do your goal time I would be very happy. Lets work at it together. Hills on the trail, mainside, this week?
ReplyDeleteYes I call them hills.
