How pathetic of me to be so frustrated this morning!
I had high hopes for this morning's 10k. Soaring speeds? A new personal record??
With all my recent running I didn't think I was being silly to hope.
There were a few factors that played into this being one of my worst times as of yet- Still getting over the cold. Not much sleep. Needing a bathroom for the last 5 miles... So I left the park just poo-pooing the whole event.
Silly, silly Lindsay...
Later today I almost teared up at the uproar on facebook and shout-outs on fellow runner's blogs. I cheered over the fun pictures and ribbons won. For a few friends, it was their first big event. For some, it was a continued triumph with ribbons and time.
And for me
it is the joy of being part of something I love, surrounded by people I love.
So my tune changed.
This morning was AWESOME!
And come Monday morning I'll be clamoring to get out on my beloved country roads for some more...
(pre-run bathroom trip NOT neglected)
HOORAY!!!

all I can say is, Amazing!
I just realized a new level of determination you have.
A week with sick kids would have taken me out of the game.
hugs(kps because I am too lazy to switch accounts right this minute)
Cheering you on! I think you are amazing and you inspire me to get out there and run too!
