Today I proved that fatboys still run races.
Thanks to Dr. Gainey, I ran the Vulcan 10k today with only a few steps walked around mile 3. Dr. Gainey, Misty Akins, and I got through the race together and it was a lot of fun.
Next up, the Jingle Bell Run, a 5k on December 1. Now that I know I can live through these things, I'm going to challenge the choir to join me!
I used to run(not 10K by any stretch) and then my arthritis in my knees got bad and so I can't anymore. : /
ReplyDeleteI used to run and then I realized that my knees hurt even in dreams so now I just dream about flying:)
ReplyDeleteI was trying to pick up set pieces for King and I downtown this morning and couldn't figure out who all these CRAZY people were out running in the COLD were...it was YOU! Congrats!
