Well...today marked the beginning of a new running career..I think. I decided..that this old body of mine continually needs a challenge. A physical one. So I decided to start running again in order to join Hillary in the 5k Jingle Bell Run.I am happy to say that I did it in under 10 minute miles which was awesome considering it was windy, cold and a tough, rolling hill course.( Not to mention I had a stomach virus for several days this week.) I had no goal when I started out this morning...except to finish and to still be breathing. However...there was one little catch. I started looking around for people I had competed against in the past...and I mean PAST! Like over a dozen years ago...and lo and behold there was this one lady that I recognized. Now in the PAST we would pass the torch back and forth as to who would beat who in any given race....WELL...I am happy to say that I beat her ass today! WOO HOO! That in itself....was a thrill! So I am now wondering...if this thrill will be replaced by aching bones tomorrow. But for right now...I am going to go shopping for a bit, have lunch with Hillary and then come home and take it easy.
PS to HILLARY...your mom is so proud of you !
