This weekend I completed my first officially timed 5K, the Girl Guide Cookie Run. It was so much fun. I ran the whole way (except for a bit when my pinny was falling and there were safety pins involved so I started walking, but only for mere seconds) It was amazing to reach the finish line and be that girl, the girl who runs the 5K the whole way without stopping. Because I never thought I could be that girl and now I am her ! My time was a bit of a joke but I started off too slow, I think. Next time I'll bring a watch. In any event, I encourage all of you to do the thing you cannot do, because you can do it !!! Next stop, Carleton U Sprint Triathlon with Laurk !!!! (technically, next stop in the 5K santa shuffle but the triathlon is so much cooler sounding).
(P.S.: Yes, yes I know, it's just all too Tony Robbins but I'm high on life people, you gotta cut me some slack !)
You're posting again! I am so thrilled! I'll start checking every day again, I had stopped until you sent that email so thanks for the heads-up! In fact, I'm so inspired I'm going to go post myself right now. Welcome back to the fold, hooray!!
(and sorry that I missed out on the Hallowe'en etc posts when they were topical, still fun though!)
