My studio recital for my piano kids is today at 5pm. It's been tradition to have a potluck after the spring recital. It's smallish, probably the smallest recital I've held, with 7 kids performing. Two kids might not make it; they've been ill this week and their mom was supposed to call me yesterday and I haven't heard from her nor is anyone ( Read more... )

Generally I don't stick around for the awards ceremony after 5K races and I didn't on Saturday either. But I should have, because my friend who did stay, grabbed my medal for me - I took 2nd place in my age group! \o/

Also, I didn't check until now, but my official finish time for this race (31:08) is a new personal best.  :D

Finished the Almond Blossom 5K in 31:05. That's a really good time! The first mile and a half was south against an icy cold wind (temps were in the 40sF/4C). The second half, we had the wind at our back - it was a breeze. ;) I really like the design of the tshirt this year.

I treated myself to waffles, hash browns, turkey bacon, and coffee for ( Read more... )

Met up with some friends this morning for the Frost or Fog 5K (it was neither frosty nor foggy, but beautiful and sunny!). One friend finished before us and I came in just a few seconds behind the other friend, with a finish time of 32:33.

Thursday
I played my church gig Thursday morning. It meant I couldn't participate in the local Run for Food 5K race, so myself and a friend ran it after church. We opted to run the trail rather than the park road. Much more scenic that way. It was a bit nippy but the sun was shinning. Thanksgiving lunch at grandma's in the afternoon.
