wahooooo i came in 2nd place

for my age group in a 5 k run this past sat. i am soooooo excited.1st, im going to confess that i did not exercise at all this past week this is a 1st for me i think i just needed a break .i set up my xmas tree and my snow village. so i was preety busy with that. when sat came, i was nervous that i wouldnt be ready, thennnnnn after 11 months, aunt Flow decided to come. r u freakin kidding me? lolol i thought id be free and clear of this dreaded girl thing. now ,i have to count all over again lol. so i was feeling under the weather. i did the race in 35 min 45 seconds 2 min longer than last 5 k , but it was much much harder than the other 5k 's. it was a real trail in the woods . i felland im a lil bruised on the right side of my thigh and my knee but im ok. and i still came in 2nd place i received a medal too lol

Congratulations!!! Great job!  I hope you're ok though - I always worry about running on uneven surfaces and twisting my ankle or something.

Sounds like you've been busy - and Aunt Flow after 11 months - OMG!!!  I still have her visit me monthly, but I'd think after not havingher around for 11 months I'd be done... oh well....

thank you Jodyyy .
ur right i could have very easily twisted my ankle or something. yep i cant believe its very light but still i thought id be done with it grrrrr im gonna put a pic on my profile cuz u know i cant post it on here about my race on sat ;-=)

Deevagirl, I am SOOOOO excited that you came in 2nd.  What a wonderful victory.  Did you ever think you'd be running races and winning?  Any placement in the race, I consider a big old WIN!

I'm sorry you fell and got scuffed up.  Oy, Aunt Flo again?  Darn, right?  I've been around 9 years free of her and I love it!

Again, congratulations on a race well run! 

thank you Lee Leeeee,
i was shocked when they called out my name today im pretty sore but it hasnt stopped me from going to church, and finishing up thanksgiving shopping lol
mwaaaaaa

To finish is to win, but to place is big time.  You go girl.

Sorry you fell.  I fall all the time and every time I have to lay there for a minute to see if this is the time I broke something.  Haven't so far and have good bone density but when you get to the 60s, you can't take falling and popping up for granted.  Glad you are only bruised.

thank youuuuu
i too have good bone density thank god
im pretty sore today but very happy

Congratulations! Trail running scares the crud out of me -- I would fall for sure! You had a great time and deserve that medal!!

thank you sweetie,
coming form the queen of runners
i didnt know what it meant by trail running had i known, i would have never signed up lol but then again i wouldnt have had my medal
i tripped a few times and fell once but im happy today ;-0

Congratulations on your second place Toni.  That is so awesome.
Hope you are feeling better today from your fall..
