Did I not tell you about my stay-cation? I have been jonesin' for a vacation BIG TIME. That's no secret. But, for many reasons, we cannot book a vacation at this juncture so since we had today off (yes!) I'm calling this weekend a stay-cation. This involves not going anywhere more than 45 minutes away and spending lots of money. Both of which I accomplished today. After Andi, I did end up getting my new running shoes, though not at the outlets. They are by Brooks. I've never had Brooks but lots of runners swear by them. I have a hard time investing in running shoes for some reason. I wear them a lot but I never think they should cost more than $50. And really, with my feet, they are the one piece of footwear that I should be investing in. Oh well, someday I'll learn.
I'm hoping my Brooks will give me a good time as I cross the finish line of my very first 5K. I am nervous and excited. Since it's my first race, I have set a VERY attainable goal of 35 minutes. I'm hoping to come in a couple minutes under that but John and I drove the course today and it's hilly. Oops. We don't train hills. This might be a problem but I'll just do my best and know that about 3 years ago I couldn't run more than a minute without stopping. Progress.
Have a happy 4th of July!!!
