Race Day!
Posted: Sun Mar 08, 2009 10:18 am
O.K., cheap move... Like I would ever actually race my 450X!! Since the weather is generally atrocious between the months of October and May, I have taken up running. Some of you remember that I lost a bunch of weight a year ago... this is phase 2 of the XGiant makeover plan. In late September, I decided to give the running thing a try. My wife runs marathons and such, and she seemed to enjoy it, so I figured, "Why not?" I went to a local running track, ran 1/2 a lap and contemplated suicide! I decided against the aforementioned action and faithfully pushed on toward my marathon goal. I have now completed numerous 5K's, and yesterday tackled the 10K (6.2 miles). I am by no means fast, but I finish! Ride on friends! I will be plodding down a rainswept road, dreaming of singletrack!
A smile, just before running 6.2 miles... 50 minutes later, the smiling was over!
This was the start of a recent 5K that had some major hills.
