Go Speed Racer GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
The 5K this weekend was great. I was aiming to finally finish a 5K under 30 minutes, but I had an extra dose of awesome Saturday morning and finished faster than I expected.
The first 5K I ever ran was 37:29.
This 5K was 28:24! WOOHOO!! I beat my previous best time by 4 minutes! I finished 239 out of 744, which might not sound impressive, but it's well ahead of where I normally finish.
I checked the photographer's website and pics from the event will be posted after Wednesday. I don't know if I'm in any of them, but hopefully you'll get to see the goofy expression on my face when I'm racing. LOL
I started a new nerdy book series this week. It's the "Sword of Truth" series by Terry Goodkind. The first book is "Wizard's First Rule". I'm about 200 pages into the first book, and I believe I am enthralled. My roommate watches the TV show based on the series, "Legend of the Seeker", but I don't want to see it until I finish the books.
I went slightly crazy with my food intake this weekend. There's always a lot of freebies after a race so I got lots of Fuze drinks, trail mix, watermelon, Clif Bars, and a local brew called Ugly Pug. Also, I allow myself to eat food I normally wouldn't after a race. It's kind of a rare "treat" for a job well done. I ended up having burritos and potato wedges. :P
I went into a cooking frenzy Sunday. I made whole wheat blueberry pancakes, vegan pita pizzas (surprisingly awesome), and sweet potato fries and chips. Organic ketchup counts as a vegetable, right? LOL
