Running business

Despite getting over sickness...there has been some running going on! :)

The kiddo ran her first 5k! I'm sad that I had to miss it but I'm so dang proud of her! She said she ran the whole thing and she had a lot of fun. I'm so glad I could get someone to drink the kool-aid!

 
Pretty sure she gets her swag from me!
 
This month we started the C25K program again as a meetup group. I'm excited to say that I'm helping teach this time around! It's a lot of fun and I can't believe people actually listen to what I say and think I'm a real runner. LOL.
 
Mostly I just try to encourage and cheer them on. I want to let them know that the program works...if I could do it...they can do it. Plus I think it helps to know that you're not alone in the misery that can sometimes be running. It's nice to know someone else has gone through it and that other people are going through it with you.
 
Stubborn Warrior: Spring Rush 5k:
 
I ran a 5k last Sat! It was the second race in the Stubborn Warrior Resolution Series. I did alright. No new PR but I ran it in 33:15. I was doing really good with about 9:30 splits for the first two miles but the third mile killed me and it dropped to 11mm. Yikes. If I could have kept up the pace I would have smashed it and broke sub-30! Guess there's always the next one.
 
 
See...look at all that mad swag I haz!
 
The exciting thing about this series is that despite my less than stellar turn out in this race....I'm ranked 3rd in the women overall for the series!!! Woot woot!
 
I know it won't stay that way because I've got to miss one of the 5 runs in the series...but for now it's hella exciting! :D
 
 
I almost can't believe it!
