Black Squirrel 5K


This is the only picture I have and that's only because Paul took it. Today we both ran our first race of 2012 and my first race since having Tenley. I've been running quite a bit in my quest to both lose weight and because I signed up for the Cleveland 10K in May.  I am at least happy to say it's been working and I'm down 20 lbs since going back to work three months ago and about 50 since having Tenley!

Anyway, this was a horrible race for me for the most part.  It's been over a year since I actually did a race.  I will say that I finished that race in 36+ so I cut about a minute and a half off my time since then.  I started out way to fast and did the first mile in about 10:36 or so.  I was still doing good at the 2nd mile marker. Then is when I really slowed down.  I was tired and that last mile was all uphill which did not help. Hey, I beat everyone on the couch and even some people in the race! Haha. It was more or less to get some legs under me before Cleveland which I know it going to be 10,000 times crazier.  Wish me luck!

Paul of course finished with minimal training in 24 minutes. Bastard.
