What in the World??!

I had a big breakthrough last week... you see I ran a 10K race - BECAUSE I WANTED TO... not because my family was (see Bolder Boulder posts), or friends were, or any other reason than I wanted to see how I'd do. Now this is shocking - to me at least. See, I'm not a runner - or at least I haven't been in the past. I'd kind of try to run during the summers when I was in college to stay in shape for basketball, but it just never lasted very long... my knees would hurt (the result of popped bursae), the plantar fasciitis would kick in or shin splints, and there was always something else to do instead of running at nights. But Rena and I started running in January and in the last 3 months I've run two 10Ks and 2 5Ks, with more planned. And next year I want to do a half marathon ... wait, this is me, right?? Not so sure!! And in case you were wondering, I RAN the whole race and my time was 61 minutes - just under 10 minute miles. Not bad for a non-runner, eh?!! Although I have to say, I am just not photogenic... not posting the other pic where I look pregnant!!
