Awesome runs are ... awesome!
I did a little local 5K this morning. Not even two miles from my house, and a tune-up for next weekend. It was a benefit for the animal shelter - they didn't allow dogs in the 5K, but they had a shorter dog dash, a dog walk, and a fun dog show, so there were plenty of excited canines.
26:26, which I'm fine with considering that (1) I hadn't been able to train for it at all and (2) I really didn't give it everything I had, since in light of my fitness I wanted to make sure I'm fully recovered for next Saturday. I had a decent kick for the last kilometer, which makes me happy. Second in AG, first hardware of the year.
The best part was that I rode my commuter bike to the start! First time back on the bike. My hand and wrist hurt a little working the brake and grip shifter, but it didn't feel like I was re-injuring anything, and it felt soooo good to be back on two wheels.From there to the farmers' market (compost pail had to stew in my pannier during the race
- I don't compost here in town, there are enough raccoon problems already, but there's a lovely organic farm that collects customers' compost, and I get free salad greens with every six pails of compost!) - produce shopping, and home. Yay!

She's training for a 10K in April and wants to run enough that it''s "easy" for her. She wants me to do the same, yet I keep waffling on registering. I know if I have an event for which to train, I'd be much better about all this.
I plodded along glumly behind her like a lame dog. We - or rather I - lasted 2 miles.
