first of many, i hope

so i decided in the summer that i wanted to run a 5K. had every intention to train, but it's so dad-blasted hot that it was hard to motivate. then school started. then i had to do the dishes. then i discovered several new tv shows and started a habit of sitting on the porch with andy and some friends most nights. not to mention the fact that my thyroid is wreaking havoc on my energy level on top of teaching kindergarten and having 3 kids of my own. fast forward to last night. ran my first 5K. i took my iphone app literally...couch to 5K. that's what i did. but hey! i DID it. and it was cool. and i think it motivated me to keep this whole running thing up. a few favorites from the night:
being spellbound by the inmates at the dallas jail lined up in the windows watching us. signaling SOS signs (or gang) from the lights in their rooms. CREEPS. also, people who took their dogs and then carried them while they ran. ummm, NO! Ellie noticing we were about to be passed be an 80-year old man when we took a brief walking break and deciding hellz no, we were gonna beat him! most fave? running 75% of it and ellie running it with me. so proud of us. so sore. :)now...does anybody have any good drugs? ;)
