When I gave the clue “Dress warm tomorrow,” there were three reactions:
1. People who don’t read this blog came in shorts.
2. People who do read this blog dressed warmly.
3. People who do read this blog decided dressing warmly meant, “Stay under covers.”
It was a slim turnout today. But the people out there on the track ran their hearts out. There was some great effort out there. I watched people who couldn’t run a mile finish their first three mile run ever today. And it was as inspirational as the movie Rocky to watch.
I ran 3.03 miles at 25 minutes, 26 seconds. My goal for the 5K is 25, so I am close. All with a developing cold and allergies.
Once I coughed up the bus exhaust, I patted myself on the back.
And will get back to work Tuesday. I have some serious training to do.
I noticed when I got there for the 6 am class it was pretty thin. Ours was light as well. I prepared and I’m glad I did. I ran the 3 miles in 42 minutes & some change. I know that’s not the fastest. But I guarantee 9 weeks ago that wouldn’t have happened. My 1 mile time is faster by 2 minutes from when I started. I ran those 3 miles and I didn’t stop. I didn’t walk. I pushed through. Me & my crappy asthma having lungs pushed through it. I can only get better!
Have I told you lately, how much your story inspires me! I sent your Sprayberry story on to their principal!!
