Run, Lazy Girl, Run!

Well, I let Beryl influence me into signing up to run in another 5k race.  This wouldn't be a big deal except for the fact that I have not run since my big fall in the park running with Rocket in 2007!  Ouch, I hurt both knees and the palms of both hands.

Back then, I did two 5k runs and I trained, yes, I really trained, for a couple of months for each one!  My goal then was to finish in less than 30 minutes.  I did that, with about 30 seconds to spare!

Today, I will run with FOUR DAYS of running under my socks!  FOUR DAYS.  What the heck was I thinking?  My goal is to FINISH and do it in under 45 minutes! 

Kevin has reminded me that I am only racing against myself.  But its hard to pace yourself when all those people pass you!  Oh, and the kids, there will be kids that are not obese.  They'll beat me too!

The race is sponsored by the Dunedin Brewery http://www.dunedinbrewery.com/ and will benefit Dunedin Doggie Rescue - Dog Eden.  http://www.dunedindogs.com/.

If you are there, look for me in my new pink t-shirt I had made to support The Tampa Bay Professional Pet Sitters Network http://www.tampabaypetsitters.com/.    I had this made at Big Frog Custom T-Shirts and More http://www.bigfrog.com/.  The guys in Oldsmar are really good and very nice.  You should go check them out!

Check back later to see if I survive.
