I am off tonight to see my FAVORITE comedian, Russell Peters at the DC Improv. This man absolutely cracks me up and I can't wait to see him LIVE!!!! I laugh out loud just thinking about it ....
side note: I have eaten everything under the moon. I have to find a way to stop ... My body still thinks I am in Italy, only I am not walking 10 miles a day. Its a problem. I feel like I am carrying bricks in my pants. Again, this has to stop. Icing on the cake: I have a 5k on Saturday morning and I haven't "worked out" (I have done a lot of walking) in 2 weeks ... should be interesting.
update: Race results are in! To be honest, I thought I did horrible. When I signed up for the race I set a goal to complete the finish in 26 minutes which would be just over an 8:30 mile pace. After 10 days in Italy and the inability to hold back from everything sweet within eye sight, that goal quickly deteriorated. On race day, my (revised) goal was to just complete the race and run the whole way (3.1 miles).. ha! After finishing, I was just relieved that it was over, that I ran the whole way, but I dreaded viewing my official results. Yesterday I received the results, and I finished the race in 28:19 which was a 9:07 mile pace!!!!!!!!! I am really proud of myself. It even encouraged me to go for a long, slow run last night. I ran just shy of 7 miles!! I'm eager to get back into it and to kick butt this fall during all of my races.
- Oct. 4: Army 10-miler, Washington DC
- Oct. 25: USMC 10k, Washington DC
- Nov. 14: SunTrust Richmond 1/2 Marathon, Richmond VA (not yet registered)
and then hopefully a few Turkey Trots and Reindeer Runs for the winter!! I'm SUPER excited!
