Ok, so I did it. I got up super early on Saturday morning so that I could eat something before going to the local Boston Memorial Run. It was cold, around 34 degrees, and I still stress about what to wear, never want to be too cold or hot. Hopefully knowing how to dress will get better with experience.
Over 300 people showed up to run. Wowza! I saw maybe a couple of people that I know, but no one to really stand around and chat with. That is always weird. We sang the Star Spangled Banner (it was really hard not to cry), then a speech by the organizer and our mayor. Then the run. It was pretty disorganized about running routes and leaders. Since it was so last minute, no streets were blocked off, so they were encouraging everyone to just break into groups and go different routes. I didn't have a clue who to follow since I only wanted to go 3 miles, but luckily I had ran around that area recently and kinda had a route in mind, along with my trusty run app. So off I went, left instead of right. Of course.
I was able to pass a few people, which is always a good feeling. Followed a group for a while, but then they went a way I didn't want to go, so I went my own way. Was pretty much by myself most of the time, occasionally would pass another runner. It was peaceful out that early in the morning, pretty nice run. Managed 3.2miles.
Went to "Gentle Yoga" on Sunday for my cross training. It wasn't all that gentle, but it did help to stretch me out. Ran again today, 3.5!! No walks! But man, I'm feeling a little sore right now......where is that foam roller??? 5K coming up this weekend.
Had the best dinner tonight, will share that tomorrow for Tofu Tuesday!!!!!!
Bye!
