Today I competed in the Donut Run 5k in Ames. This was quite the event. Though I did not partake in the donut eating, it is a running race where participants get time subtracting for each donut eaten. Get your workout in while clogging your arteries, maybe even throw in a little stomach illness, and call it a day. But I guess a few donuts one day is not that bad, it was interesting to watch people eating donuts, running, and getting a second tasting of donuts.
My time was okay, just not as fast I had hoped for. I got second overall for females-real time, not donut time. I wanted to go a little faster, especially for the last half, but it has been a long, tiring week and I guess my legs just didn't have it in them today. I still think that this is just the beginning of a strong season.
Training has been going well...most of it is outside now! That means time to get blown around like a tumbleweed and work on some sexy tan lines. But seriously, outside workouts are amazing-is there a better antidepressant than grabbing a pair of shoes or wheels and hitting the pavement?
