April and May Updates

Good lord, it's been over a month since I last updated!  Why?  Perhaps I didn't want to face the fact that I'm back in the 190's and that I haven't really been running at all.  Yeah, that's probably it.  What the hell was I going to write about?  "Well folks, today I'm fatter than I was yesterday, and the last time I ran was that 5k I wrote about in March.  Go me!!"

So, did I give up on my one event a month until the end of the year goal then?  Hell no!  I've just been running without training.  Because not only is that good for you, it's a good time too.  (Sarcasm).

On to the recaps of the races!


-------------------------------Norway Spring Classic 5K- April 16th 2011-------------------------------------

This was COLD.   I would not have ran this if I had any choice to run a different even for April- but the next weekend I had to work and that was the last weekend of the month.  God, it was miserable.  As evidenced by this picture:

Note the ice hanging off the damn signs.  It was sleeting and was 33 degrees for this f'ing race.

Last year at this event, I did the 10K.  I am so happy that I decided to do the 5K and not the 10K this year.  The 5K was a new course, so I had no idea what the course would be like.  I DID however know what the 10K would be like- a hilly hilly bitch.  I was hoping to avoid that by doing the 5K.

I didn't avoid it.  At all.

This was actually the hill I was hoping to avoid!  It looks better in the picture than in real life.  Trust me.

So that is about it for that race.  It was cold, sleeting, assy, and I ran it in like 40 minutes.  40 mins isn't that bad for gaining 20lbs and not running at all.



I think I'm sort of back on track with diet and exercise.  I'm not going to tout that I have it all together and I'm totally back on track...but I THINK I'm heading in the right direction again.




Next post- my half marathon from last weekend!
