The Serendipitous Pioneer

I just got this from Becky the awesome @ Beckysgaragegym.blogspot.com  and I know you couldn't wait to see it either. The super smart fitness guru who thought to snap pictures of our official times.  Yes, I know my time is pathetic but I am still bragging big time.  Because I did it!  What were you doing at midnight????  For the one in July I am really hoping to drop under forty mins but that is a lot and it is during the day when it could be way way too hot.  I still haven't figured out how to sweat on more than my scalp.  Oh well.

Cue the "My Fair Lady" soundtrack.  Go to the song they sing right after the ball.  I want to hear " You did, you did it. You said that you could do it and indeed you did!"  Yes, I am a wee bit gleeful after the 5k that started at midnight. I may be slower than a turtle in molasses but I finished.  And although I wouldn't admit to goal time before we started I was really hoping that I would finish in an hour and just wouldn't be the dead last one that everyone was waiting for wishing they could turn out the lights.  But I did it in 42:24  and I didn't keep anyone too late!  I learned I can do it and now I will even train for the next one.  Oh yeah there will be more.  I hated it in the moment.  But now I can't wait to try it again only this time with some training.  The cross fit helped me get to that point.  Today I actually hurt more from yesterday's  work out (75 power cleans @30# for time) than I am from the run. ...
