Saturday I participated in a HUGE racing event here in Greenville. Obviously, I was not racing to win! Vanessa graciously offered to walk it with me--though she normally runs them. I'm sure it was a total bore for her, but she stuck with me! One of my students wanted to do it with me--the first 5k I did was because of her. She stuck with us the whole way--though she struggled a bit, but then when we entered the stadium, she took off and left me in the dust. I just couldn't keep up with her!
They do this every year and have a costume "contest" as well. My student wanted me to dress up, so I told her I was going as a, um, school teacher! :) Seriously, dress up and do a 5k? Just didn't sound like fun to me! It was a fun walk--didn't run that much. Though my time wasn't great--not feeling well, didn't sleep much the night before--it was still motivating. Going to work at increasing the actual running time little by little. I'm just NOT a runner--sorry, Dad. :(
Anyway, fun event. We should plan one for our next family reunion!
