Randee Talks: run

As part of my "2010 better be a hell of a year because 2005-2009 were crap" goal, i started working out. No one like a fat lazy unhealthy Randee. By no one, i mean me. im sure no one else cares. ANYWAYS. so i started working my legs which need the most work in my opinion back in December. I have never ran a 5k... running 3 miles sounds like something track people or nutsos do. right? well i am a nutso now. I am picky about the charities i give to... but Run for Reading, YES! We raised money for my library which has cured my boredom for many many nights and saved me monies like you dont even know.

Well the 5k took place this past saturday. did i meantion im not very bright. So not only did i stay up ALL friday night (explains the lack of color on my face), i also didnt stretch before of after my run (my legs and butt hurt major til monday!). been kind of down lately so i am proud i even went, and even finished. i have been "half assing" pretty much everything in life for a few months now. i just dont care about much. not the point.

So i havnt been training like i used to.. january and feb were strong months but march and april... i just dont have the motivation. so i could have been more prepared. either way my goal was 45 minutes. If i went any beyond that, well i would be really upset. i was not prepared for all the serious runners... and twice or three times my age too. So i got passed by a LOT of people.. but i also finished before a lot of people.

44 minutes. and at the finish line there was a very cute boy. treat times two.

Im sure if i slept before the run, maybe ate dinner the night before, had someone to run with, and if it wasnt so damn cold and windy that i could have done better. but i topped my goal under the stupid circumstances. but like i said i just dont care. i did it. i gave money to the cause.
