I DID IT WITHOUT PEEING OR PUKING! YIPPPEEE!
Today I finished my first 5K run. I did the Halloween Run, organized by Kitsap Track Club. I was so nervous, okay, scared! My biggest worry was NOT, "Will I fall?" (I didn't) Nor was it "Will I be last?" (I wasn't). I wasn't even worried about dropping dead! (Which, obviously I didn't).
My biggest worry was "what do I do if I have to pee while I am out on the streets?" I mean,seriously, I lost sleep over this worry! LMAO!
Anyway, I did it. Now we are planning to do a 5K on Bangor (The Turkey Trot) in November.
Whodda thunk it!?

Every morning in Africa , a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Thanks Helen. It did feel pretty great. And just to clarify, I didn't run the ENTIRE time. The course was "moderately" hilly. Up Sheridan to Perry then down Perry to Sylvan and UP Sylvan. So, the hills I did more of a march. Down the hills I literrally ran to make up time. On the flats or fairly flats, I jogged/ran, and then took breaks with power walking. There is no way I could do a complete 5k without some walking time in there. However, I did map out a course with hardly any hills near my home for practice....
Thanks again,
Kathy

Congratulations!!!! I'm so happy for you. LOL - the peeing thing would have been my biggest worry, too!

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance. Unknown
GH has a monthly support group meeting at the Silverdale location. I also read that every Thursday at 7 pm, I think, there is a meeting in the cafeteria of St. Anthony's in Gig Harbor, near the YMCA and not too far from home (I'm in Port Orchard). I haven't made it to either meeting. Other than that, I'm not aware of any in Kitsap area.
