Race Day!

Race Day came and went on April 11. We woke up early as we needed to be there by 8:30 am. It was cloudy out but overall not to bad. After getting our race numbers and picking up our shirts, which did I mention how awesome our logo looked on the back?, we followed the other 2oo + people to the start line. Don't you know the second we got there the skies opened up and rain poured down on us. The horn blew and we were off! It was at about 1.5 miles that my shoes were tossing out water with every step. The rain was not going to let up. But we did it! 3.5 miles soaked we crossed the finish line. YIPPY! Now I'm off to the next one. Not sure yet when and where that will be but hopefully it will be on a sunny day.

Day 4 of Training

It was about a week ago I had thoughts of doing this race. Mentioning it to a close friend, his first response was a laugh, which was very much expected. Thinking he was going to talk me out of it, I was surprised by his next response, " you better hit the pavement". I think I hate him now. Haha.
It was about 7:30 am when I got my start this morning. More cars were out on the road this time. As I crossed the street glancing up to wave thank you, I couldn't believe what I saw. A middle aged woman with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. WHAT! Wow it's 2009 people! Who still smokes? Completely shocked I started to look into the cars of the many that passed me and couldn't believe how many were doing just the same. Here I am thinking I am a very healthy young person struggling to run a race for a cure for children born with a heart condition and these people are actively trying to give themselves a heart condition.
Lets just hope my next day out I will see more people drinking water on there travels to work rather than a cancer stick! Lets also hope I will be less sore and able to jog much further!
