I did it! I ran my first 5K! My time was a complete surprise to me 34.24. I am shocked! I did better than I thought I would. I'm so stoked! Woohoo!! And I did it with old shoes, never did find the time. One part of the course was a rocky, rutty, dirt hill. I felt like I was climbing to the moon. I'm not used to that. I'm a road runner. And other parts were wet grass. All new to me, but it went well! YAY for me!

HomeSpun--GREAT JOB!!!
Ds1 raced a 5K this morning. Didn't go well at all. He's been sick but thought he was up to racing. Afterwards I took him to UC. He has bronchitis.

stella--MANY of my summer bike rides are "ice cream rides". We ride to a town, stop for ice cream, then ride back. My guys can tell you the merits of many of the "out of the way" ice cream places!

I honestly have no idea. I would guess I'd get at least a week or so notice, but it could be months. That's why I want to be ready at all times.

Ames! I was just thinking about you! How's the training going for GTT? We're going to have to meet up there.

Well, I think it's going pretty well. I guess we will find out next week (yikes, it's almost here already!). I'm still very much a beginner in all three disciplines, so I may finish near the back of the pack, but at least I will still be able to call myself a triathlete then.

ames--DON'T WORRY!!! Remember, it's a time trial swim start, so noone at the finish line will know your official time. And I will be there at the finish line! I haven't heard back from Shannon, but ds1 and I do plan on working the kids race.

17 miles done and it wasn't even bad, so I don't know what I was worried about.

Good job! I have a question for all you distance runners: what do you do with your mind? I mean, how do you keep yourself into the run? That's like a couple of hours, I would go nuts. What do you think about?

That's almost exactly what my first 5k time was! Doesn't it feel good??? So proud of you!!! 
). I did about a half mile walk, then did about a 200-300 meter sprint in which I pretty much died at the end.
