Say what?

Well, it has been a while since I posted last! Every time I try to sit down and write a post or even log my run in my journal, I have something else that needs to get done. Here I am... Sunday night and it is past my bed time (probably because I cannot sleep) and I am finally writing a new post.

Last week, this weekend have been a crazy whirl wind but I wouldn't trade it for anything! Last week I ran the Black Cat 10 Miler with a ΦΜ sister, Juliana and we both started and finished together. It was a great course and the weather was great! Most of the route was flat and in the downtown part of Salem so of course there were cars in the way but we were safe and there was a ton of police around!

This past weekend was a double run! I had a 5k on Saturday and Sunday. Saturdays run was the St. Pats 5K in Providence and there were over 4 thousand runners! I ran with Kara (we are running all over the US this year and have one coming up in Washington DC. I definitely like to run with her because she runs a little faster than me so I push myself more to become a consistent runner! I loved crossing the finish line on a downwards hill because I was able to sprint the last tenth of a mile. Even the weather was beautiful considering it snowed the day before! Today's run was the Ras na hEiren 5k in Somerville. I know this course well, so I knew what to expect. The one thing I need to pay attention to is the ground. Right as we turned the first corner, I slipped in a small pot hole and landed on my foot wrong... I ended up walking for a little but continued and was able to complete it in a reasonable manner. I ran with another ΦΜ, Teresa who ran her first race of the year with me! We stuck together and motivated one another!

Ok, I have carb up this week and get ready for the first half marathon of 2013!! I have never been to DC and I cannot wait to see all the sights!! I really like having running partners because it makes the race THAT much more fun!!!
