5k and groceries
In my last post I had said that on Saturday I was running the 5k for Autism Research and hadn’t trained AT ALL. It turned out to be a nice day, a little breezy but it was enjoyable. What was more exciting was that I: a) completed the run; b) did so in 31 minutes; and c) ran the entire thing – no walking!
It was my first ever so I’m pretty proud of myself. However, Sunday was a lazy day for me because I couldn’t move because I was soooo sore! Next time, I’ll have to remember to stretch a little better (or maybe actually train). There are always 5ks and other races going on on campus so I’m going to try and keep it up and I’m also considering joining the Running Club on campus. I talked with one of the members at the race and it sounded like a fun way to keep motivated.
On another note, my dad came down today from home (Buffalo – only 45 miles west of here) to say hi. I hadn’t seen him in a while so it was a nice surprise. Best of all, he took me grocery shopping. I got to splurge on my choices for once! We went to the Super Target on Snelling Ave. which I had never been to. It was surprisingly dead for a Sunday afternoon making it much more enjoyable because I tend to freak out at the grocery store and crowds so the combination can be an issue for me – plus, it was sample day!
