Notes, In Brief
May 2, 2012I’ve been AWOL. Oops. Kinda busy, which is lame because we’re all busy, but there it is. To review:
1. Saw Cherop and Korir break the tape at Boston, then saw 21,998 other runners suffer horribly. It was a rough day, and I’m sending a virtual fist bump to those who endured it.
2. Finally hit a 5k PR after two years: 21:24 with first in age group, 7th woman overall. It was a fantastic day. Driven to drop those 25 seconds over the summer and eek out a 20:59 somehow.
3. Drank my first beer. Ever. Yes, I realize this is mind boggling. I don’t like beer. But evidently, after I finally run under 21:30 and am buzzing on PR juice, I like a plastic cup of Blue Moon.
4. I have almost died on my bike 3,491 times, but I’m still here. And that was on one 10-mile ride. She’s a cruel mistress, that carbon death machine.
5. I gave away my vacuum with the idea that I’d get a new one when I was about to clean. Then I realized that you never have to clean if you don’t own a vacuum. This is probably not a good thing.
Congrats on the fantastic PR! I know you will sneak under 21 min this summer!!
You are just that cool!
Congrats on the PR!!! Sub 21 is yours…
Hope you’re good. xoxoxoxo
Sweet PR!! Way to go! I think you will become a much better runner after you start regularly consuming beer…I have no scientific proof of that, i’m just saying…
