So last Saturday a.m., I ran a 5K Jingle Bell run and ran my fastest time ever! 23:35 overall which is a 7:36/m pace!!!! WoooHooo!!!! Should I mention it was only 21* F????
I have to admit that I'm getting tired of going to these races alone. I would love to find a running buddy who shares my passion and tromps about with me at all these things. I see everyone around me with a group or friend...and then I start feeling lonely... Not to mention no one at the finish to share my personal victories.
Sunday I stopped into Beyond Reality and got myself a new tattoo!!! Completely impulsive and I had only planned on getting suggestions for a design...but then decided to go for it! She's a Runner Girl to celebrate finishing my first marathon (26.2 miles).
Last night, I ran in my first snow of the year. It was soooo exhilarating! Okay, so it was only flurries, but enough so that the flakes were flying up my nose. Ick!
My next race is on New Year's Eve...a four miler... I decided I'm done with dating, done with the drama...just done...with everything to do with men for a while....so, why not race on New Year's Eve?!?!?! LOL!!!
The Martian Marathon is in April 2010...18 weeks away. My training started this week and out of the shoot it's is pretty much the same distances I've been running the past four or five weeks, so I should be fine. I've been considering adding some speed training and trying to better my time so that I can qualify for BOSTON! Wow...to BQ (Boston Qualify)... A dream... A goal... All I need to do is better my marathon time by 18 minutes. Yup, that's all! LOL!!! ;P Technically, if I better the last five miles time - that would shave off 8ish minutes...then it's just 10! ;)
Got my Yaktraks in the mail today! Which means no worries for ice and snow! But I do want to get a pair of CW-X compression insulator tights. At $100 a piece, I'm gonna have to wait until after Christmas. I bought this killer Brooks jacket...wore it last night...worth every penny of $150!
What else....
Work is super crazy busy. Very thankful for my job...but very much looking forward to Christmas Break.
Christmas... I'm a humbug. I have a two foot tree on my mantel. That's about it for decoration. Really not in the spirit of things this year... I'm thankful and content...but seem a bit unsettled.
Really need to get back working on the reunion... July will be here before I know it. I still have to find a couple hundred people...ugh.
I think that's about it for now...
Gotta do a little better at posting more often and not being such a slacker! ;P
