the dew baby

Had tons of fun today at after the Screaming Banshee 5K/10K! I did the 10K with a couple other friends (well, not with them really -- they kicked my butt! HA!), and several friends did the 5K. And afterward, we all gathered at Mom's house for Belgian waffles and mimosas.

I can't say I rocked the 10K. It was actually my slowest "official" 10K. But (1) I finished it; (2) I didn't die; and (3) I wasn't last. It was a lot of trails & hills. Seriously, no one ever warns me about trails & hills until I'm in the middle of the run and they're flippin' brutal! I HATE trail running! It's more exhausting than running on pavement, and I always feel like I'm going to lose my footing and fall.

But. I stayed upright for the entire 6.2 miles and had an amazing recovery meal at Mom's. So WIN!

21 days until VEGAS HALF MARATHON!!!!
