So much going on...

I have been pretty busy last week so I did not get the chance to blog.

Last weekend I did not go running at all. I had a super busy Labor Day weekend and I wanted to enjoy it. I went to the lake for a couple of days. It was a lot of fun. I had my first real fishing experience:] We rode our bikes around the lake. It was a nice little jaunt. Then on Monday we had a birthday part for Evan where everyone played a game of kickball. It was a lot of fun! But I was super sore on Tuesday. I tried to run the rest of the week but I did not get very far my legs were just not up for it.

Yesterday I had my second 5k. It was a real nice run. Kristine and Will came and they did the 10k. Hopefully next summer I will be able to do a 10k at some point. We drove to White Bear and saw a sign that said parking for race. We thought that was our race. Wrong. We did not discover this until we went to pick up our packet. Craziness. We got back into the car and looked for our race which we eventually found 20  minutes before the start. We had to pick up our packet and I really needed to use the potty and of course there was a long line. Thankfully the 5k started about 15 minutes late so I had plenty of time.

I started the race with my shins taped up because I was experiencing some pain in my shins. I taped it a little to high because it caused my calves to hurt and they were unable to flex. So about 1/2 mile into it I tear it off.

The race was a lot of fun and a whole lot easier then the first one that I did. Although I did not think I was as fast as I was in the first one because there was not as many people behind me. The finish line came up on me fast and then I was done. When I started this race my goal was to beat my time and I did:] My unofficial time was 40:30. I am waiting to see my official time and I will keep you posted.
