Oct. 28, 2008 - Racing to the Finish
My 5K race on Saturday went very well. Got up at six, left at six forty-five, stopped by Price Chopper to get Vitamin Water and a granola bar for mom, and then got to the park that the race was at at about seven forty-five. I got signed in, warmed up, did some stretches, looked at the race map, and then at eight o'clock the race started. When we started off a number of the well seasoned runners took off really fast and I wanted so bad to run up front with them, but I remembered what the running website said about beginners and kept my pace steady. A slowed to a walk more than once because my legs either wore out or I got a cramp in my side, then I came to the "little hill" that had been mentioned at the start. Ha. Ha. I about went down on all fours to climb that hill! Anyways, I finished the 3.1 mile race in 38 minutes and 39 seconds, coming in 16th out of 54. Pretty good for my first time. I got a medal for first place in my age division (19 and under), though I was the only one in my age division... -grin- Ah well, it sure was fun though! =D Can't wait for the next race. I'm going to be running at five in the mornings on Thursdays and maybe on Tuesdays too, then on Saturdays I'll just run on the boring old treadmill.
We had an extra play practice yesterday since the play is this Sunday. It went very well, which was a big relief because last practice was a disaster.
Today is my voice lesson, Thursday is our dress rehearsal for choir and for the play... I'm getting nervous but really excited!
Oh! ColmanBlue update! There there has been another blog entry on ColmanBlue's myspace, encouraging everyone to vote! It mentions that James, Chrissy husband, is on crutches, so I think we should be in prayer for him. =)
I'm going to be starting a whole new blog for ColmanBlue fans, so keep your eyes peeled for that! =D
