So I've completed the 5k in one of the hill-yest neighborhoods of Tacoma! It was challenging, and I won't lie, I walked up a couple hills, but overall I think it went really well. I was SO relieved to see that it wasn't snowing when I got there, and in fact the sun was shining and the temperatures were around 40. There was a 10 mph wind that I felt the most when running up the 3rd hill, but other than that it didn't bother me! I was so glad to have completed it, especially running by myself. And on the way out of the Stadium High School football bowl (home of the movie "10 things I hate about you") I received a brochure to run in the inaugural 2009 Bud Light St. Patricks Day 5k in downtown Tacoma next weekend. So I'm signed up for that, and I'm looking forward to seeing some familiar faces. I think the more I do these races around town, the less nervous I'll be about running alone. The adrenaline and heavy breathing of other participants is a good motivator!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!
