A few of my running friends did the Lonestar race. I did the 5k. The first few yards I was feeling pretty good. Then, I noticed that my shoe was untied. Dang it! So, I stepped to the side and tied my shoe.
Though, some not so nice things happened. These young girls in purple shirts were making fun of this other girl for the way she was running. I mean really?? Was that necessary?
Then, my friend who was running the 10K said a girl cut her off and then tried to trip her!
Overall, it was a good race. I was happy with my race. My goal was to get a 34min time. I ended up with 35:30. However, my uncle said that the route was actually 3.25 miles instead of the 3.1 miles. I input the time with the actual route and I was very happy with that!
My next race is April 21, the Zoo Run. I'll be doing this with a few of my friends from my Mothers of Multiples club.
However, I've been on the injured list. A week ago, today, I was out for my 4 mile run. I was half of a mile from the house on my way back. And I fell. Fortunately, a few cars had stopped to help. I think they thought I got hit by a car! It so happened that my neighbor across the street saw me and brought me home. I banged up my knee and hurt my ankle. I knew right away that I had to ICE it. I ICE'ed it the best I could, took some Ibuprofen and then my twin boys came home. I did the best I could with active twin boys before my husband got home. My ankle is not as swollen and not as purple.
Now, the dilemma. My half marathon is in May 6. I haven't been able to train as much as I'd l ike to. The farthest I have run is 6.2 miles. April 21 is my 5K, and then April 27, I will be leaving out of town. Right now, I don't think I will be able to. I might see if I can do the 10K instead of the half. Maybe I can do another half, but I just hate that I've already paid for it.
