I can't decide if I should call myself a runner or what. I like to run. I'm pretty good at it. And I do compete in races. I guess that makes me a runner. Moving on...
I ran the
bridge run downtown Savannah this past weekend. Really enjoyed myself. My goal was to race the 5K and finish around 24:30 and than take my time with the 10K and be around 55:00. I ended up placing 6th in my age division with a 23:53 and a 53:55. I'm happy with my times and that I ran both races as I'd planned. I took my own advice and placed myself near the starting line for the 5K. There were a lot of people in costumes and out for a good time. I wanted to run fast and hate dealing with traffic. Unfortunately I was pretty tired in between the two races and didn't get near enough the start for the 10K. I dealt with people running back and forth across the road, stopping to talk on their phone, adjusting their costumes and playlists, and lots of walkers. Really annoying.
What is also really annoying is the shirt I got for bringing in a donation for Toys-for-Tots. It's a Mizuno dri-fit shirt. I was actually pretty excited by it and wore it this morning to workout. It sucks. It doesn't let you skin breath and I was a sweaty mess by the time the warm-up was done. I'm not the only one who felt this way. A friend from the early morning class wore his shirt this morning and had the same complaints. I guess you can't gripe to much about a free shirt.
Taking the plunge this afternoon and registering for
Garage Games One in February. And I'm going to go for it and register for the RX division. Everyone pray there are no muscle-ups!
