dun-un DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN dun-UN duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun...
So here's the story of my 5K.
I got up at 6 AM to leave at 7 AM with my brother and dad. We met up with some of my brother's friends, hung out, drank coffee, stretched, etc. I go to the bathroom around 20 min before the race, and just my luck, I started my period. So I bonded with my brother's friend's girlfriend over tampon exchanging, and ended up running the race with her. It turns out this wasn't a proper 5K, but a 3.55 mile course, all of which was hilly. Donna and I worked hardcore to make sure we beat all the 10 year olds in our immediate vecinity- the adults are too hard to race. Every time I started running (we walked some as well) I played the Rocky theme in my head. We finished in 36 min and 30 sec. Rejoined the group, ate free bagels, my brother won a calander, we went home. It was fun, in that really painful "I kind of want to die now" sense of the word. I think I'll do it next year too.
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
