Our news this week... So, something cool happened. I haven't run in a timed 5k since around 2003, but have been back into distance running for quite a while. My daughter has asked me to run a half marathon with her this Autumn, so training is happening now since my hip is still somewhat of a struggle even after surgery. (If you are curious about my comeback, look for posts titled "Fitness After 50) I registered for a 5k on Leap Day, but almost chickened out on the way there. It was a very positive experience with all the participants encouraging anyone near them. I did my best and did not need to walk, even though a couple of hills felt pretty difficult. My time wasn't great and I left after having a bottle of water. Here's the cool thing. A couple of days after the race, the organizer called to say she had a medal for me because I got THIRD PLACE in my age division! No one was more surprised than me!
The lesson? Be brave. Go to your race. A lovely surprise may be waiting for you!
