Was that the most annoying valley girl blog title ever or what? Technically I DO live in a valley, so it's all okay!
So what am I flipping out over? I have a new unofficial PR! I went out last night for a 5K run and it was fantastic! I wasn't trying to be a speedy pants, but at least twice when I randomly looked at ye olde Garmin it said I was going Faster than 10 minute mile pace. My dream is to be faster than a 10 minute mile, but its i a pace I can't maintain for too long.... yet!
After I finished my 3.1 miles I felt good. I knew I had given it my all and fought through the moment when I wanted to just stop and walk for a bit. Once I got in the door and did a double take I realize that I had run faster than my prior race PR that I set in May BEFORE the whole hip bursitis incident. Woohoo!! (32 minutes last night, by the way).
Yesterday I did register for the Monster Mash 5K! I think my plan of setting a new PR at the race is what helped me out so much last night. I love the image of me having an awesome race time ... all while running as my dark version of Alice in Wonderland. I promise I won't run with the blood or the knife!! I will bring my bloody bunny for the costume judging portion, and probably bring out my good ol' black eye shadow and nail polish. Let's just hope for a dry day because who wants to see me cross a finish line with black make-up running down my cheeks? Actually, that would be awesome!

| I just had to share the close-up version. LOVED my make-up that night. Even had make-up on my fingers! |
Great job! I had hip bursitis in the Spring too! Sidelined me for over a month.
ReplyDeleteThe image of you running with a bloody knife is hysterical... could you imagine the other runners??? You probably wouldn't have to push your way through the crowd. LOL.
ReplyDeleteGood run!! I am definitely a 10 minute miler too...with dreams of getting faster some day. :) Good luck w/ your PR on your next 5k!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! That's great news! Good job, and I bet you will have blast at your 5K.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 5k time but BOO! on the Halloween costume, you freaked me out, great make-up but ditch the knife. Eeek!
ReplyDeleteI cracked up at the comment you left because in kindergarten I brought a record(okay, I'm dating myself)to school and made the class do ballet around the room. True story.
