Today is my birthday! Happy 33 to me!
Still have several days of streaking to complete because I started too late to end on my birthday. I think I have to run through Saturday.
My thoughts on the run streak so far are this:
1) I run more often.
2) It makes me not want to run as far as when I wasn't running every day.
I think these things are "ok" but I'm having a hard time wanting to run very far. The last time I ran 10 miles I was really sick afterward and I just hate feeling like that. Really puts the damper on getting excited about long runs. I haven't run one since the 10th.
Summer Sunset 5K #3
I ran two 5Ks this month. One was the third Summer Sunset 5K. I pushed and pushed and I finished the race with my fastest pace yet. 8:52 min/mile!!! WOW. I was amazed. I don't get passed anymore. I pass people! It's really weird. Before this my fastest pace for a 5K was 9:15 min/mile. I'm under 9 minute miles for a 5K. When I started this running venture I thought it would be pretty amazing if I could run one mile under 10 minutes.
I got my shirt! I'm getting it soaked because it poured during the race.
The Color Run Buffalo
My graduate adviser invited me to Buffalo for the weekend to run in a color run. He just took up running and this was his first race! My other past labmate Jess also joined us. It was great to see her (she lives in FL now). It's nice to think that my dedication to running has rubbed off onto other people. We had a great time.
Before the race. We're all squeaky clean (and HAPPY)!
We may have gotten coated in colored powder (but we're still super HAPPY)!
I may have told Paul that I would run the Buffalo Half Marathon with him next May... Me and my big mouth. HA!
Thank you for reading!
