5k

I recently ran my first 8k.  I am still new to running so this was a big deal for me.  It was a memorable experience to say the least.  Here are a few random thoughts while I was running.

•  I should have worn a long sleeved shirt.  I am freezing.
• OK....OK....there are a lot of people older than me....Maybe I won't come in last.
•  Do I have time to make it to the bathroom one more time before we start?
•  Here we go!  I am soooo excited!
•  Run YOUR race, Adrienne.  Let them pass you.  Don't even think about it.
•  Dang!  Grandma can RUN!!!  Wow.
•  I am so glad I did not wear the long sleeved shirt.
•  (passing a few people) Look at'em.    Ran too hard at the start didn't you?  Mmmhmm.  See'ya.
•  There better not be any more hills.  I am going to scream if there are any more hills.
•  (turning a corner)    ...are you SERIOUS??
•  8k turnaround?   Halfway done.
•  "Getting strong, now, won't be long now, getting  strong now...."  (Rocky theme music)
•  There it is.  The finish.  I made it.  Thank you, God!
•  Let's go get some pancakes. :)
