So I ran the Alpine Days 5k this weekend in preparation for the big half marathon. It was a chilly morning (which is rare for August) and wonderful for running. The kids were even there to cheer me on. I've been running all summer and feel like I am getting in better shape every day. Or so I thought....
You know what makes me really mad - is the little pip squeaks who are 12 years old and fly by me. They are hardly sweating - hardly breathing heavy - and make it look totally effortless. I was fuming mad because I REALLY was breathing hard and working my hiney off. Oh well..... Just keep on running - keep on running.
But the 12 yo pip squeaks don't have your adorable hair cut or your fancy schmancy cheering squad and they are unseasoned...you have vision, stamina and grit.
ReplyDeleteGood gracious, you're amazing!!!
Hi Toby! I finally found your blog link. If I had known you were running, I would have come and cheered you on! The kids did the Toddler Trot the last couple years after the Alpine 5K, but this year they said they didn't want to do it, and I said, great!
ReplyDeleteKeep on running!
