Fall folliage tour 2008




Soooooo I did my 5k Friday night and I followed it up Saturday morning with a nice 3.5 hour hike through beautiful Lake Minnewaska(New Paltz, NY). It's about a 2 hour drive from my house. What a great day! The hike was tough cause my quads were pretty fatigued from the 5k and then all the up and down hills were reeking havoc on my legs....but man was it worth it...felt great....

Participating in activities like running and hiking makes me truly understand that we are not supposed to be in a big building running on a belt driven contraption...we are meant to be outside...doing it....nothing beats getting outside and moving..no gym no treadmill no spinbike....

MAKING PROGRESS

Sometimes progress comes in big chucks....big changes....sometimes smaller changes...ones you dont notice until one day there just is a difference....

So in February I ran the republic leapyear 5k at 45:05.


Today I ran the same 5k in 42:50(unofficial). Over 2 minutes faster.....and I never stopped to walk the whole time.


TODAY I ROCK

TODAY I WON THE RACE (actually came in like 3rd to last but I won...believe me I won)

TODAY I AM A RUNNER....
