What a weekend...

I've had a busy weekend.

Well, first my nephew had his first t-ball game. He did awesome. Hey....he's four, it doesn't take much. The fact that he can hit a ball off a T and run to first base is cool to me. AND his team is the Cubs. He's a huge Cubs fan (to the chagrin of his father, a Cardinals fan).

Saturday was the Dam to Dam race. I did the 5k race with Monnik. I dressed a little wrong (again) and had a hard time with the heat, but did decent with my time considering I had to walk a bit due to side cramps. And considering it had been a few weeks since my last run AND I'd had doubts about running due to knee pain earlier in the week, I was just happy to do the race.

I learned a few more lessons about races (dress appropriately, hydrate, train more) and am now set for my next one in less than two weeks.

Today I spent some time relaxing (muscles a tad bit sore from yesterday), some cleaning, and did a little shopping with my sister (her weekly outing away from the kids).

Now I'm just really wishing the end of the weekend wasn't closing in so fast. Hope you all had a great weekend too!

It was great running with you! I also wish I'd have been more prepared, but at least we got out there and did something, right?!!

I spent the day yesterday doing yardwork and did kickboxing this morning. I am going to be SO SORE tonight!

What's your next event? The one at Waterworks park?

Yeah, it's the Heart Connection one. I like having another race to keep myself motivated on the training. I really should set a goal for a longer race though.
