Out run diabetes 5k
Well it wasn’t pretty, but I got er done. My heel hurt and I wasn’t all that excited about going. I warmed up and stretched at home, and spent most the time before the race visiting. They fired the gun and I started off slowly. Then about 75 yards in, a friend of mine, who I didn’t know was there, goes running by, waving, “Hello Diana.”
I’m like, “What the hell? Where is she going? I can’t let her out run me.”
So I stepped it up a notch, caught her, and passed her. I’m so twisted, I can’t do anything, without my competitive nature showing it’s ugly face.
Luckily it was 99% dirt road with some cusion for my heel. I felt pretty good. My cardio has seen better days. I had to fight little stitches in both sides, and I was slowing more toward the end. It wasn’t one of my better runs, but I managed to get 3rd in my age group. Get this, 27-45. I’m 45 and I was tempted to lie about my age. LOL
By the time awards were finished I could barely walk, and not much better today. I hope this goes away soon, or I may have to take up biking.
