As I sat down to write today’s post it struck me, I’ve been actively posting to this site for over a year now! I checked out what I posted on August 4th 2009, and wouldn’t you know it, it was a plug for the Downtown Dash (which is once again coming up this Friday). I didn’t get to run last year for some reason or another, and this year I hope to, although other than Monday night soccer I haven’t been running that much. Still, it’s only a 5k, and between soccer and biking I can probably muddle through it.
I really miss running. It feels like I never got back into it after I hurt my knee running the mason mini marathon last November. From January of last year up until I had my appendix removed at the end of August, I was kicking ass and taking names. I lost close to 30 lbs (most of which has stayed off). But more than anything, I just felt good.
So to those running the race this Friday, HAVE FUN! I hope to join you for every awesome step of that 3.1 mile route around downtown (the fact it’s not a morning race is great too).
Looking back on 2009:
Pre-race shot: Go OTR 5k
Stretching before the downtown Tri
Crossing the Tri finish line....the closest I've coming to throwing up at the end of a race
Mid-race at the Reggae Run
Run Like Hell...as Michael Phelps
I hope the Downtown Dash can be my triumphant return to road racing for 2010!
