i did another 5k this past saturday!! my friend talked me into doing the pigskin classic....a 5k held by a bar downtown on the osu/michigan game day. it was definitely a harder run than the last one.....hills, and cold, cold weather made it that way! the route started on w.6 (outside the blind pig, host bar)going up w. 6th, left on st. clair, down w.3 and around browns stadium, turning left onto erieside to burke airport, and then coming back again, ending where we started! never having done hills before i wasn't sure how i would do....didn't do too bad. the worst hill was the last one, going up w.3......i ran up the hill, by the time i got to the top i had to walk a bit so i didn't die. a lot of people walked it, so that made me feel better. i get so stubborn and i was mad i had to walk to "regroup", but oh well. at least it was a very short few second walk and i made it to the finish line! my time wasn't too off from the last race....this race i got 31:18. so not bad for the 2nd race, in the freezing cold and with my first hills!

I was supposed to do a 10K(!) Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving, and was going to have to leave the house at 5:30am(!!!) to get to it. THANK GOODNESS it was raining so no one wanted to go. That was maybe the first time I've ever been grateful for the rain, haha.
omg! if i do 3 outside i am doing good. my goal is to get to a 10k!!
