As I was trying to look up the race results from the 10k on Sunday, I found the results from the last time I ran the race in 2011. I’m sure you can imagine my surprise when I saw that I came in SECOND in my age group (at the time) 20-29!!!! I had no idea!! Apparently I won a medal, but I never got it. Still, how awesome is that??!?! They still haven’t posted this year’s results. We shall see.

On my run Monday morning my Garmin was beeping at me. Turns out, since I’ve never deleted any workouts since I got it in 2011 the database was nearly full. I’ve apparently run/walked/biked over 900 miles on that thing! Runner problems! Also, it was counting backwards! I watched it go from .19 down to .18, then .17, then back up. How does THAT happen? I deleted some runs from the database so I’m hoping that helps. To paraphrase Brooke (two-o-nine) “get it together 305!”

Apparently I did NOT want to get up and run this morning. My alarm went off at 5:40 and I finally managed to pull myself out of bed at 6:20am. I even was dreaming that it was raining so I didn’t have to get up and go run. Which is silly, because I have my treadmill in the basement! No excuses. I’m always glad when I do get up and go run though.

The annual “Run for the Homeless” to benefit the People’s City Mission is this weekend. Its a minimum of $25 fundraised to do it. I ran it 2 years ago, and wanted to this year, but I work my PT job Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights so I’m going to make a good life choice and choose rest/sleep/a long run instead.

I also wanted to do the “Firecracker Run” on July 6th. But I work the PT job the 5th and 6th and $25 for a 5k seems a bit pricey to me. So I’m making a good life choice again and choosing me. Sometimes its good to be selfish.

Have a good day friends!
