All I can think about is running, and shopping for running, and when I get to run next, how long I will be able to run, what it will be like outside when I run, how I will keep my pants from sliding down when I run, thinking about when will I really be ready for a 5k, after all it is only 3.1 miles, it can’t be that hard can it? I can't remember ever being this excited and consumed by something. I hope that I don't go too overboard with this obsession :)
While doing some research and investigation this morning I came across something called the 'Irish for a day 5k' happens in the twin cities every march! How awesome is that?! And it rhymes! I sooo have to do it, and it's way cooler than those 'kiss me I'm Irish' buttons.
Run Recap!
Today I did my mile on the EM while rockin' out to some jamz. As a result I finished my mile in......27:30!!! And I wasn't totally dead (close but not totally) at the end of it! So I took Bandit on a stroll around the neighborhood (the same route I did yesterday) and when we got home I felt so bad thinking about poor Louie, the other, younger, Irish Setter all alone in his cage. So I took Louie on a stroll too, except that we had some fun chasing after rabbits and sprinting down sidewalks, it was pretty great.
*I'll just run to the end of the block, ok maybe around the corner, to that hedge, just past that fence…*
*Internal Monologue
As a result my left knee and hip are a little sore, nothing some stretching can't fix.
Can't wait for tomorrow!
WELL HI THERE ASH. I know it's been too long since we've talked. Honestly, I felt a little ashamed not being able to go to your wedding (I was a douche and didn't even RSVP.) I just wanna let you know from how many miles away California is from you. I'm a 100% behind you ;-P TEAM ASHLEY is gonna be nation wide just you watch.
