5k and hip hop

I ran the 5k event on Saturday for the Conner Turnbough Foundation. Fantastic fundraiser, they raised over $11,000, congratulations.

I'll tell you what, I was not prepared! I really haven't run since May, well a few 3 mile runs here and there. After running full marathons I have a warped perception of the ease of a 5k event. I didn't eat before the race, just had a cup of coffee. I figured I would just run and then eat. Well, they say "GO" and everyone starts bookin'. Running for their lives and I'm like, where 's everyone going. What happened to this nice easy 5k fun run. Well, I told myself I'm just here to have fun. RIGHT! As soon as people started passing me, I was like, uh I don't think so and the competitive part in me started running faster and of course I exhausted all I had and got burnt before the end of a 3.6mile run! I had to walk it out a couple times. I would have been better off just jogging and finishing with a run. I need to keep my running schedule going! Mary, remember, this is just a fun event to raise money for a fab cause!

I have my hip hop class tonight. We dance to music from Jay Z, Timbeland and Akon?...HUH? Guess you couldn't do a chuncky belly role to Zeppelin's Rock and Roll?

I was really frustrated last week. I couldn't remember the steps and I didn't have room to move. There's alot of people in this class and we keep dancing in each others space! ARUGH!

Let's hope for lots of points in tonights football game. I do NOT want to wear this stupid turkey costume and stand in a street corner somewhere in Chittenden county. I am sick of losing these stupid NFL picks.
