I did another 5k before the "BIG" one in October. It was in Stockton, UT and I was not prepared for it even in the slightest. I have been having an awful time getting to the gym with "my buddy" and since the last time I posted I had taken a surprisingly embarrassing fall in my son's school parking lot. It left me with a still pained back and hip. My right knee hyper-extended, so the pound of running just kills and the night before the run......wait for it........I jammed a toothpick a half inch into the bendy part of my big toe!
So as you can see "I was fit for running." my little cheer section told me that I couldn't back out of this now and even if I crawled the whole thing, that I needed to finish it.
"Finish it." No more getting "almost there." It may take me years to meet the me I want to meet, but I will. But as I am in the pursuit to "finish it." I will take this time to really appreciate the me now. Every single lump and bump. :-)
I am still going for the run in October and I will sign up for more as time allows, but I will always finish. I will always get there....even if I am near the end.
By the way. I bested my time by 2 minutes and 30 seconds from the Turkey Trot I did in November last year. So there's an accomplishment to add to finishing....which means I am going in the right direction.
