running
So yesterday I ran the Furry 5K run which benefits the Seattle Humane Society.
So many darling dogs! I can't even begin to guess how many dogs I saw yesterday. Every breed imaginable! I had so much fun, and actually, even being distracted by so many darling puppies, I didn't do too terribly considering I only started running a few weeks ago. It was at Seward Park which is really a pretty park, I hadn't been there in years. Half point of the run is a BIIIG hill which I walked up. I knew I couldn't run it.
This poor bulldog who was chubby, even for a bulldog, was with his Mommy and she was dragging him up the hill, and about midpoint, he just went "SPLAT" all 4 legs akimbo,
and he was NOT getting back up. He was soo cute, but I felt so bad for him, you can't take a chubby bulldog on a run like that. So cute though. I wish you could have all seen this beautiful black great dane running. It was like watching a thoroughbred horse...beautiful.
My time was 37 minutes and 29 seconds which, like I said isn't amazing, but, I did
pretty good for a 50 year old just starting out.
The man who came in first finished in 16 minutes and 50 seconds, and I bow down to him,
for he is amazing.
In other news, had my physical (except for mammogram, which I must make appointment for)
and I need to go finish the payroll at some point soon.
Butm yeah....I ran, and I finished. I might be getting the hang of this.
Next weekend (sunday) I'm doing the Roman Meal 12K walk.
