race results and a reprimand
Sep. 28th, 2009 12:50 pmLol....I am really getting tired of racing in the rain!* It was another drowned rat run on Saturday. Rained fairly steady for most of the race, running water and standing water on some of the course. Wet shoes and saggy sopped clothing. A couple new blisters to go with my new tshirt.
:) Yes, I had fun! My pace was even slightly faster than at the last race I did! I'll admit though, I was fairly well wiped by the finish line; for me, it was an effort.
*for which, maybe, I set myself a tough precedent by running the 12 hour Delano Park Run last March in the rain; kinda feel like I can't be a wuss over the weather with shorter distances. :)
3rd place (in women's 45-49 age bracket) 126th (overall place out of 182) 49 HEATHER WHITESIDE 1:31:24 9:50 Huntsville AL
I didn't get any one single "long" workout in for the week, but between the (fast) race on Saturday and 12 (slow) miles on Sunday--that's a back to back weekend for 22.5 miles. So, my over all mileage for the week, 44.25 miles, was about the same as the previous week's total.
M 3 mile walk/2 mile walk
Current weight: 125.8 lb.
Some of my friends and family are concerned about my weight dropping. (Actually, it's back up slightly at this week's weigh in, but overall trends) My daughter, my sister, my best friend (and the random library patron last week who commented on my weight loss and asked if it was intentional and if I was all right.) Hannah threatened to buy a case of Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies and stock my house if I lost any more weight, and she thinks I should gain some back at his point.
I'm going to have a little extra money in a few weeks, maybe I should use some of it for an appointment with a doctor/nutritionist/personal trainer? Allow everyone, myself included, to feel better about my current and ongoing health and fitness plans?
