So its been awhile since I posted -- but I thought I would recap my weekend! So on Saturday 9/10/11 I did my long slow day walk with Team in Training. Hurricane Irene completely wiped out the NCR trail so we moved our training to Loch Raven Reservoir. I know I've posted pictures of the reservoir before, but I have never seen the reservoir so full or the dam running as forcefully as it is in the picture that I posted here. So instead of doing the 11 miles that was originally posted, my walking partners and I did 7 miles of loch raven hills! YAY!!! Yes my knee was sore and I got another blister, but its getting down to the wire. so we toughed it out! Then after that I headed over to my church to work on our book bag give away that was postponed from last saturday due to Irene. Thank God for Play sport body wipes... just sayin' :-)
Then today I did my first 5K -- I walked/ran in the 9/11 5K this morning at 8:46 am. Yup, you didn't misread -- I did do a few jogging intervals. Of course I use the term jogging loosely as I maintain that I'm just bouncing and am not convinced that I am moving any faster :-) At any rate, I did finish in 53:09!!! I was so excited until I saw that a 62 year old woman finished in 27 minutes......LOL!! more power to her! I can only pray that when I'm that age I can finish in maybe 45 minutes :-)
So as I write, I am contemplating a long overdue hot soak and then rubbing down with Precise. Its been a long, long, but satisfying weekend!
