A few days ago I "ran" a 5K.
You'll notice that the word "ran" is in quotes because let's be honest, there's very little running going on when I'm doing it. It's more like a slow, agonizing jog or a very fast walk.
And this was a very BIG race with actual numbers on our chests and timers on our shoes. Very high tech. The best part is that I finished in about 6 1/2 minutes UNDER my goal time and I saw lots of my friends in the race (mostly I saw them as they were all PASSING me by).
Nigel and the kids were there to cheer me on and it was a lot of fun. We've decided that next time we'll ALL run/jog/walk together as a family.
The last time I did one was in 1985. I thought this would hold me for another 25 years, but it was so much fun, I can't wait to do another.

Sorry, I can't think of anything clever to say. Congrats though.
This is the best thing ever!!!!!
I'm so glad you put the FUN part in at the end, I keep hearing these things are FUN and can't wait to try my hand at it!
Good for you! I think Chloe and I will be doing the Freedom Festival 5K. And, I know what you mean by "running." I've got the running motion down pretty well, but still, people are walking past me.
Yay! It was tons of fun and I can't wait to do one next month!!!
You're awesome! I did the AIDS walk a few years ago and that really was a lot of fun. The last time I did a 5 or 10 K run was before I was married!!!
VORQUEL -- thanks.
CAMILLE -- we missed you there!
SHILLIGS -- it was really fun, especially meeting other runners.
CURTIS -- I'll be missing the Freedom Festival 5K because I'll be at work. I'll cheer you on in spirit, though!
SUZIQ -- it was so fun starting and ending with you there (though you were so far ahead of me I never actually saw you DURING the race).
RENA -- yeah, remember when we used to sign up and then just pick up the T-shirt and go home and not even run? Ah, memories.
You are awesome.
Amazing! I'm proud of you.
GEO -- thanks.
SHANA -- not as amazing as being a cheerleader, but I'll take what I can.
