5K!
I ran my first 5K this morning! It was great!
Apparently, I placed 2nd for my age at 21:59. I actually won a plaque but there was a slight mishap...they for some odd reason grouped me with the girls, so now they're gonna have to get that sorted out and get back to me. And oh yes, I was the token black guy! AWESOME!! ^_^
...no seriously, ONLY black person there, and I only constitute HALF of one. I could hear Chris Rock in my head going "Nigga is you crazy?! A single black man amidst hundreds of white people?!" or DL Hughley saying, "You ain't gonna have no black person PAYING to run. If we run we run for a reason: like there's a police dog after our ass!" ^_^
I might've made a better time, but I had to walk like 3 or 4 times. MAN am I out of shape! Running, at least. It also didn't help that I run typically a 7:30-8 minute mile, and in trying to keep up with the suckers ahead of me I cleared that first mile in 6:40. The fourth time I walked I had no choice, my stomach was giving me a rumble that let me know I was about to spew. And wow...some duded cleared in like a little over 12 minutes! That's almost a 4 minute mile!
...must get stronger. Must get faster...
And now that I've experienced 6:40, I need to run it during the week. The next run I do, maybe Toadsuck, I'm not gonna have to be walking so much. ^_^
Laters!
